The unearthing of gold and diamonds in South Africa in 1867 fueled the conflict between the British and the Boers. The Boers originally resented Britain's 1806 takeover due to its implementation of anti-slavery laws and its Anglicizing influence. Britain won the previously Dutch colony in the Napoleonic Wars.
