Conan The War in South Africa, Its Cause and Conduct E-text prepared by Jonathan Ingram, Stephen Blundell, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "The War in South Africa, Its Cause and Conduct" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the complex background leading to the Boer War, exploring the historical, political, and social dynamics between the British Empire and the Boer republics. It delves into the injustices faced by the Dutch settlers (Boers) and the reasons behind their resistance against British governance, aiming to provide a balanced perspective on the war. The opening of the book establishes the historical context necessary to understand the South African conflict. Conan Doyle discusses the arrival of the Dutch at the Cape of Good Hope in the 17th century and traces the evolving relationship between the Boers and the British. He describes the atmosphere of growing discontent among the Boers, fueled by issues such as taxation without representation, injustices from the Boer authorities, and the struggle for political rights for the Uitlanders (mainly British immigrants). The narrative sets the stage for the accumulation of tensions ultimately leading to war, highlighting the misunderstandings and grievances that both sides harbored.
