The Second Boer War (also South African War; English also Second Anglo Boer War, "Second Anglo-Boer War", Afrikaans: Tweede Vryheidsoorlog, "Second War of Freedom") from 1899 to 1902 was a conflict between Great Britain and the Boer Republics of the Orange Free State and the South African Republic (Transvaal), which ended with their incorporation into the British Empire.
