The independence of the Transvaal republic was recogmized by Great Bri tain in 1862. In 1877 the third Kafr war occurred and Sir Theophilus Shep stone was =ent by the British to pro tect the white settlers on the frontier, including those of the Dutch republic. The Transvaal was at this time an nexed to the British crown. In 1580 the Boers revolted against the British, the short cainpaign ending in the famous battle of Majuba Hill The integrity of the Transvaal re public was guaranteed by the British under a form of a protectorate with out treaty rights. Affairs were quiet for a time, but in 1887 the Kimberley diamond mines were discovered large deposits gold found.

After a series conferences be tween Mr. Kruger's government and Sir Alived Milner, in October, 1599, which bore no fruit, the Boer president sent an ultimatum to the British on October 10th of that year, demanding an evacuation of the therefore Boer territory. Not receiving am immediate compliance, the Boer army, under Gen. Joubert, invaded British Natal, cross ing the border two days after the ultimatum had been sent, There were at that time 000 British constabulary troops in Cape Colony and Natal. Immediately upon the Boer movement, y man and White, in command of British, unable to offer sistance, fell back on Ladysmith. Other troops were penned up in Kim berley and Mafeking, and the Boers were in control of the country Five days after the ultimatum Gen Sir Redvers Buller was ordered by the British government to proceed to 'the front, a war fund of £50.000.000 was voted, the British reserves were dalled out and 30.000 men were transported o the front at once.
