Interestingly, I read a story that boer security forces caught Churchill with hollow point dum dum rounds on a train shortly before the anglo-boer war started. This was punishable by death, but they instead just seized the bullets and let him go. History would have turned out so differently if those boers would have executed him for essentially trying to undermine their republics

Portuguese speaker here, the word 'Natal' comes from the latim 'nātālis' that is a derivative from the verb 'nāscor' or 'nascer' in Portuguese which means being born. We only call Christmas Natal because it is the day that Jesus was born. Natalidade is the number of people being born per year. I am not sure what the word is in English but I think it is similar to the word geboorte in Dutch. Also, thanks for your videos, they are always super interesting!

The Boers are not the descendents of Dutch settlers. This is a massive misunderstanding as the history of the Boers was often written by the Cape Dutch & then the British. The Boers are the descendents of the German Protestant Refugees / the Frisian Proletariat Class / the French Huguenot Refugees that the Netherlands expelled to the Cape. These ancestral peoples were minorities in the Netherlands & were not from the main Dutch ethnic group. Since the Boers were largely historically illiterate, ( as they spoke a language - now called Kaaps & Afrikaans - that was yet to exist in written form & mostly only government officials or clergy could read or write in Dutch or English or German ) they did not have any institutions of higher learning as they lived as a rural & rustic Africanized tribe or nation & therefore did not have the necessary macro historians among them to relate their actual origins. It should also be further noted that the Boer people are not exclusively from just distant European roots as some of their ancestors were also from Asia ( mainly India & Indonesia ) as well as Africa itself such as the aboriginal Khoisan peoples who founded the Kaaps & Afrikaans languages in 1595. The Dutch were in reality the original oppressors of the Boer people as they ran the Dutch East India Company that exercised harsh control over the Boers. It was this harsh Dutch control that led to the creation of the Trekboers that fled the Cape Colony beginning in 1670 & throughout the 1700s from which the Boers would emerge from on the Cape frontier by circa 1700. The Boers later revolted against the Dutch in 1795 when they declared their first Boer Republics on the Cape frontier.

Yes, nearly correct. The only thing I will change will be to use a timeline to give you a better indication of what happened. The Mfecane started much earlier - about 30 years early. The Bantu people never lived in the areas called highveld. Khoisan lived there but died after three smallpox at the end of 1700. You do not mention the number of Zulu's and Voortrekkers (20,000 vs 480). Mpande awarded old Khoisan lands to the Boers since nobody lived there. Swazi are the same as Zulu - both were Nguni. Boers had good relations with Swazi people, but both had problems with Pedi cattle thieves. Pedi was a splinter tribe who broke away from the Tswana kingdom in Botswana. Paul Kruger, Swazi as well as Venda people fought with Pedi, in the north of Transvaal. Sekekuneland was acknowledged as Pedi land.

I always find these histories of South Africa interesting. My family worked for the Dutch West India Company and the difference between the settlement areas is striking as well as the similarities. With both South Africa and America there were a series of battles with the indigenous peoples although Africa was a battle zone far longer than the US. A similarity is the aggression of the British in assuming control first in America and later South Africa. America threw off the British yoke with the aid of European allies in particular the French. The Boers had no allies and the Dutch Republic seems to have abandoned the Boers probably to avoid war with the British. The Boers were quite alone in their struggles. The descendants were primarily of Dutch parentage with a few French Huguenot descendants.( I am a descendant of both Dutch and Huguenot settlers in New York/New Jersey) There were very few descendants of other European nationals. Perhaps Africa was too far away for most Europeans?

There are (i am guessing 20 or 30 times more Afrikaners (Boers) now living in the rest of the world than in RSA and Namibia(SWA). Because most law's for the past thirty years is written to try and push out the Boers. My daughter and my sister and my wife's brother are Al in Austrailia or USA. We (Boers) are mostly pure white caucasiuns. But most other nations wants to force us to mix with black tribes. They are always acussing us if being racist. But we are Les than one % of the world population. A young Boer boy whom has just completed his school years find it nearly impossible to get a work in RSA and Namibia. If he doesn't have very good coalification or isn't self employed or didn't inherit,he lives in abject poverty. I farmed for 35years . Continuously my sheep an horses and game was stolen.The police never assist to try and catch the criminals.Sorry I am telling a lie. They only investigate if you BRIBE them. More people have been killed in the past 29 years, than there were killed in the Angolan/SWA 25jear war.

Seer baie Danie/ Merci beaucoup History with Hillbert. You know that the family structure in Bantu or Zulu culture is very different from Europeans of Roman-Dutch Law. What Europe will understand as a 1/2-brother is not quite right. It more like one-night-stand. Marriage in Bantu culture is still not quite the same as marriage in Western World. One man can have 5 000 wives. So the common law definition of one man and one wo-man and excluding ALL anther person is not applicable to Bantu or African unions. In the Cape Colony there was a thinking of a one man vote if you pay taxes and speak English. But you can only have ONE wive at a time! You all said what happened before the Fist War of Independence. Dr. Hermann Gilliomee gives a different understanding. Before the First annexation. A Black tripe (Venda's I think) did not recognize the Boer Republic or some killing of Boers happened. A war broke out. The Boers could not defeat that Black tribe. The Boers of the ZAR felt like losers .. At that time the ZAR also had a Referent and "passivest" as president. A group of 25 (23) English Soldiers was at Pretoria and he singed away the independence of the ZAR, under protest.. . Prior to the Referent President the ZAR had the old Pretorius-family as the President. The father was a good trekker leader, but his son was not so good. The ZAR wanted a peace of the diamond business and lost very thing. The son was not a statesmen. Then the Referent with University qualification was elected president. Thanks for the video. I know this kinda History is no longer in our schools.

" Blood River" the map also contains two supply elevators" infinite resources at 300 resources per minute for each supply elevator which goes to about 600/minute if you capture both. The aliens have the upper hand on the map blood river given the teleportation technology and leaders like the Arbiter, Prophet of Regret and Brute Chieftain of the covenant faction from the halo universe. The humans under the union of the UNSC ( United Nations Space Command and the spirit of fire space ship) the humans have to rely on upgraded scout vehicles to even have a chance give the speed at which such vehicles move and the cost effectiveness and versatility of such vehicles. Scout vehicles are need to counter or keep up with alien teleportation technology and leaders and air crafts.

History With Hilbert I’m not a native speaker (or a speaker at all really) of any of the languages of South Africa (unless you include English), but I will nitpick your pronunciation of the word “Xhosa” a bit. You pronounced the click correctly, but the initial consonant is an aspirated click, if you can wrap your head around that. It’s just like any other aspirated consonant that just so happens to be a click. Also, the romanized forms of the Xhosa and Zulu languages represent the click consonants with the letters X for the lateral click, C for the dental click, and Q for the alveolar click, so the letter C in “Mfecane” is actually a dental click. As a final point, the letter combinations DL and HL in written Xhosa and Zulu represent the voiced and voiceless dental+alveolar lateral fricatives, respectively, like in the word “Isandlwana”. I hope this is helpful.

Hilbert, do you read the comments? I'd like to see a video on 'why' Dutch people's moved to The Cape in the first place. Why did they leave The Netherlands? Who were these people back in The Netherlands? And were they just the byproduct of the world's first private monolith - the Dutch East India company?

most Boer's are descended from Dutch, French huggonots and Germans some came to work in the colony some like the french fled religious hate and some came for the adventure. some where from nobility and some where exstreamly poor kinda similar as to why some people went to the us.

Video idea: comparison of the Boers and the descendants of Nieuw Nederlanders in North America (who still spoke Dutch, mind you, up to 150 years after the 1664 capitulation, this isn't known well enough outside of academia, especially outside of the US). The ethnic Dutch population in the US in 1790 was still far larger than the contemporary Dutch population in the Cape Colony, and they spoke what you could call "Amerikaans" in the way the Boers spoke Afrikaans. I think a lot of Dutch people and Afrikaners would probably be surprised there was still a pretty strong Dutch speaking population in the northeastern US well into the mid 19th century (early 20th in some cases) especially considering how much Anglo chauvinism there was. Maarten Van Buren spoke Dutch as his native tongue. I think a comparison of these two kindred groups would make for good content!

Hey Hilbert, love your videos! Just one important thing to mention, us Afrikaners and "Boers" in this video were not just descendents of the Dutch but the French as well - due to the French huguenot migration away from Louis XIV under his harsh rule. The VOC offered them land and resources to farm in exchange for safety. These huguenots were over half of the current population with the free burghers in the late 17th century. The French language was snuffed out pretty quickly due to VOC's laws and tense relations with France at the time and assimilated, but that's why more than half of Afrikaans surnames are also of French origin and you can find a lot of French influence in Afrikaans as well.

Aucamp (Auchamp) , Boshof (Bossau), Bruwer (Bruere)Buys (Du Buis) Cilliers (Cellier)Cronje (Cronier)De Klerk (Le Clercq)Delport (Delporte)De VilliersDu Plessis, Du Preez (Des Prez, Des Pres, Du Pre)du Randt, du Toit, Duvenage (Duvinage), Fouche (Foucher) Fourie, Gouws (Gauss)Hugo (Hugot, Hugod) Jordaan (Jourdan)Joubert (Jaubert)Labuschagne (la Buscagne)Le Roux, Lombard, Malan, Marais, Malherbe, Minnaar (Meinard, Mesnard) Naude, Nel (Neel, Niel)Nortier / Nortje (Nourtier)Pienaar, (Pinard)Retief (Retif) Reyneke (Reyne?)

16th century.The battle occurred after Portugal got independent from Spanish invasion. By then, the interest was to kick the Dutch out as invaders from a rival kingdom. Some time before, while Portugal was part of Spain the Dutch (also belonging to Spain) had already invaded Brazil as of common interest(maybe I'm wrong, if so, correct me)

Hilbert your "old Dutch" sounds very much like my dad's side spoke. My great grandfather left Gelderland about 1895 and he and G-grandmother brought their dialect with them. It sounds really guttural and harsh compared to modern Dutch, to me anyway. Recently a professional genealogy researcher identified pockets of Old Saxon dialect along the Rhine/Lower Rhine from Arnhem and west. I'm pretty sure this guttural Dutch is probably the Old Saxon. Actually listening to my dad's generation talking it sounds much closer to German with stronger stress on consonants and hard rolling of the "R"s. My mother-in-law grew up speaking Swabian and Platt Deutsch while learning High German in the Lutheran church. She and dad would chatter and have fun time talking.

Netflix should do a Zulu, Boer, Anglo series indeed. It would be quite interesting to also include the evolution of the Afrikaans language and the purposeful exclusion of the major influences of Indonesian, Malay and African native dialects on the language by the broederbond's recasting of history for white supremacy purposes and the fact that the early Afrikaans script was in arabic and in expression of Islam (NG Kerk pioneers must be turning in their graves!)

@Klaidi Rubiku - “They were not brave enough to just stay and fight against british oppression.” - No use staying to fight if almost no one will join you in the fight. It was only the Grensboere that made up the proto-Boers that was against British rule. The Cape Dutch that made the vast majority of Dutch speaking people were ok with British rule. “The dutch khoi khoi wars say othereise.” - You clearly have not read much if you think the Boers had anything to do with the Khoikhoi-Dutch wars. Those wars happened long before the Boers even started existing as a people.

The Voortrekkers have already fought against Mzilikazi, the king of N'debele that was previously the best general of Shaka until they parted in amicable terms. Sotho nations "hired" the Voortrekkers to stop him. Note that all previous conflicts between the Dutch/Boers and indigenous tribes were not an all-out struggle for survival, Mzilikazi just surrended and went away , the chief of cattle raiders was released , so the massacre of Weening was something really unheard for them.

They really could've granted the Boer/Afrikaners a land to call their own. But I believe they were affraid of fierce competition. The history shows how tough and resilient the boers were and could've easily become a world superpower and run the british into the ground.
