A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Britain's empire expanded into Africa during the late 19th century, focusing on the causes and consequences of the Boer Wars. They discuss Cecil Rhodes and his dream of a Cape-to-Cairo railway, the discovery of gold and diamonds in the Transvaal, the Jameson Raid, and the brutal guerrilla warfare that marked the Second Boer War (1899–1902). The conversation covers the use of concentration camps by the British, the burning of farms, and the eventual Treaty of Vereeniging. Lucas explains how these wars reshaped South Africa and laid the groundwork for apartheid. The episode also touches on the rivalry with the Zulu Kingdom and the role of figures like Paul Kruger and Lord Kitchener.
