Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Britain and the Dutch Republic of South Africa: A Summary of the Historical Relations Between Great Britain and the Transvaal and Orange Free State, Giving a True Account of the Present War in South Africa Thus we have the formation and settlement of Natal and the Orange Free State, where in both cases only those settlers remained who were on the whole disposed to recognize the advantages of British rule. The irreconcilable and turbulent sections in all cases drifted to the Trans vaal. The sections of Dutch population which went to the Transvaal were no less bitterly antagonistic to the sections of their own country men which they left behind them than they were to British rule. Couse quently intercourse was rare. The race of the Transvaal Dutch has from the beginning been to some extent differentiated from the remain ing Dutch population of South Africa, and the history of the Transvaal forms a chapter apart. It will be seen that the lawless nature of its population continued for a long time to characterize the new settlement, and that when the Boers of the Transvaal had no one else with whom to fight they fought continuously with one another. The autonomous existence of the Transvaal province was established in the following conditions. In the early years of the Orange River Sovereignty the British Government reaped the results of the encourage ment which it had given to native pretensions. Hottentots, Tembus, Kosas, Basutos, had all in turn at considerable cost to be subdued. The difficulties encountered in these wars made the whole movement of Imperial extension extremely unpopular at home, and in the midst of the perplexities aroused by the necessity for active operations on the spot and lukewarm support from headquarters, Sir Harry Smith found himself confronted simultaneously by an antagonistic movement of the Republican faction in the Orange River Sovereignty, and by a request on the part of the proscribed leaders on the far side of the Vaal that old differences might be forgotten, and their independence in that terri tory be granted to them by a treaty of friendship with Great Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transvaal Versus Great-Britain: A Short Commentary Upon the Dutch Address to the British People A Committee of loyal subjects to Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, feeling deeply and seriously aggrieved by the ever growing rumours of an impending war between, the government of your glorious Queen victoria and the Dutch Republic of south-africa, has ventured upon a strong appeal to your high-minded sense of justice. Do not think we have been impelled to this act of ours by such a thing as race-feeling, by a partial preference for the Boers who speak our tongue and bear Dutch names? Nothing of the kind. Our fellow feeling for our cousins in south-africa is duly counterbalanced by the high esteem in which we hold our neigh bour nation across the sea, the grand people of the British isles, that has set the ever memorable example to all mankind of how a national community may politically come of age without consuming its moral and intellectual forces in fruitless party-strife. Really, if mere national sympathy were our motive, we might well be in doubt, which side to take. That there has been no question of hesitation is explained by this simple fact; we have been prompted by no personal motive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tussen 1899 en 1902 woedde in Zuid-Afrika een oorlog tussen de Boerenrepublieken en het Britse Rijk. Veel Nederlanders steunden in die tijd de Boeren. Dit uitte zich in een vloedgolf aan propagandamateriaal om een tegenwicht te bieden aan de Britse berichtgeving over de oorlog. Dit boek bevat een grondige analyse van de Nederlandse pro-Boeren-beweging vanaf haar begin in de jaren 1880. Kuitenbrouwer gaat in op de organisaties die de banden tussen Nederland en Zuid-Afrika trachtten aan te halen en zo belangrijke knooppunten werden in een internationaal netwerk. Aan de hand van bronnenmateriaal toont de auteur aan dat de propagandacampagne voor de Boeren nog lang nagalmde in de twintigste eeuw.0.

This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is a powerful aid to the understanding of the present, and those who are concerned with the escalating crisis in South Africa will find this an invaluable source book. This is the story of the evolution of a society in which race became the dominant characteristic, the primary determinant of status, wealth, and power. Cultural chauvinism of the first European colonists – primarily the Dutch – merged with economic and demographic developments to create a society in which whites relegated all blacks – free blacks, Africans, imported slaves – to a systematic pattern of subordination and oppression that foreshadowed the apartheid of the twentieth century. From the beginning of the nineteenth century the new empire-builders, the British, reinforced the racial order. In the next century and a half the industrialized South Africa would become firmly integrated into the world economy. Published originally in South Africa in 1979 and updated and expanded now, a decade later, this book by twelve South African, British, Canadian, Dutch, and American scholars is the most comprehensive history of the early years of that troubled nation. The authors put South Africa in the comparative context of other colonial systems. Their social, political, and economic history is rich with empirical data and rests on a solid base of archival research. The story they tell is a complex drama of a racial structure that has resisted hostile impulses from without and rebellion from within.

Download or read book Money in the Dutch Republic written by Sebastian Felten and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dutch Republic was an important hub in the early modern world-economy, a place where hundreds of monies were used alongside each other. Sebastian Felten explores regional, European and global circuits of exchange by analysing everyday practices in Dutch cities and villages in the period 1600-1850. He reveals how for peasants and craftsmen, stewards and churchmen, merchants and metallurgists, money was an everyday social technology that helped them to carve out a livelihood. With vivid examples of accounting and assaying practices, Felten offers a key to understanding the internal logic of early modern money. This book uses new archival evidence and an approach informed by the history of technology to show how plural currencies gave early modern users considerable agency. It explores how the move to uniform national currency limited this agency in the nineteenth century and thus helps us make sense of the new plurality of payments systems today.

This book was released on 2017-04-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a detailed investigation of the influence of public opinion and national identity on the foreign policies of France, Britain and the Netherlands in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The quarter-century of upheaval and warfare in Europe between the outbreak of the French Revolution and fall of Napoleon saw important developments in understandings of nation, public, and popular sovereignty, which spilled over into how people viewed their governments—and how governments viewed their people. By investigating the ideas and impulses behind Dutch, French and British foreign policy in a comparative context across a range of royal, revolutionary and republican regimes, this book offers new insights into the importance of public opinion and national identities to international relations at the end of the long eighteenth century.
