Afrikaner politics+British influence

Question 1

Afrikaner politics

Answer 1

Deeply ‘exclusionist’- wanted to strip rights of others to protect their own privilege
Influenced by ideas emerging out of Germany (e.g racial purity)

Question 2

British Empire’s influence

Answer 2

From 1910, British influence was on the decline- however held on long enough to get support from S.A in the wars against Germany
Afrikaners set about reversing pro-British polices (e.g British flag abolished+use of English as language of education changed to Afrikaners)
