Ending Apartheid in South Africa: Quiz Question

Question:

During the British settlement in South Africa, where did many Afrikaners move?

Final answer:

When the British settled in South Africa, many Afrikaners moved further inland.

When the British began settling in South Africa, many Afrikaners moved further inland. This movement was a result of conflicts and tensions between the British settlers and the Afrikaners, who were of Dutch descent. The British occupation and expansion caused displacement and migration of the Afrikaner population towards inland regions.

This migration of Afrikaners is significant in the history of South Africa as it reflects the impact of colonialism on the indigenous populations. The competition for land, resources, and power between the British and the Afrikaners shaped the demographic landscape of the region.
