Q

Why did the Boers agree to get annexed by the British (more by some guy than a unanimous decision- honestly for both sides) (1-3)

A

Thier war was going badly but if the British annexed the territory then they would have no choice but to help against the Pedis.
It’s only temporary as we agreed… right?
They are also worried about the Zulus so i guess kill 2 birds with 1 stone (but vegan dw henry)
