Boers Defeat British at Tweebosch

Date: March 7, 1902 • Location: Vryburg, South Africa

Second Boer War: Boers, led by Koos de la Rey, defeat the British at the Battle of Tweebosch.

The Second Boer War was a conflict fought between 1899 and 1902 between the British Empire and the Boer republics, triggered by the discovery of gold in the Transvaal, specifically the Witwatersrand gold fields, and the ensuing political dispute over the voting rights of British expatriates (Uitlanders).
