Dutch East India Company had founded the Cape Colony on the southern tip of Africa in 1652 as a way station for its ships travelling to and from its colonies in the East Indies. Britain formally acquired the colony, as it needed to establish a port stop for its sailing fleets to and from India which it was in the process of colonising as part of the British Empire. The Capes large Afrikaner (or Boer) population in 1806 began migrating northward, having occupied the Cape in 1795 in order to prevent its falling into French hands, following the invasion of the Netherlands by France. British immigration began to rise after 1820. South Africa experienced a transformation between 1870, when the diamond rush to Kimberley began, and 1902, when the Anglo Boer War ended. Midway between these dates, in 1886, the world’s largest goldfields were discovered on the Witwatersrand. Societies of European South Africa began to urbanize and industrialize, the region evolved into a major supplier of precious minerals to the world economy; gold especially was urgently needed to back national currencies and ensure the continued flow of expanding international trade. British colonies, Boer republics, and African kingdoms all came under British control. These dramatic changes were propelled by two linked forces: the development of a capitalist mining industry and a sequence of imperialist interventions by Britain.

William IV (William Henry; 21 August 1765 – 20 June 1837) William became a Lieutenant in 1785 and Captain of HMS Pegasus the following year. In late 1786, he was stationed in the West Indies under Horatio Nelson, who wrote of William, "In his professional line, he is superior to two-thirds, I am sure, of the [Naval] list; and in attention to orders, and respect to his superior officer, I hardly know his equal. The two were great friends, and dined together almost nightly. |
