The Germans in South Africa and WW 1


The South African Union was closely tied to the British Empire and joined automatically with Britain and the allies against the German Empire.
The Second Boer War generals, who fought against the British, became active members of the British Empire.

South Africa had a big influence in several attacks against the Germans.
The Afrikaner-led government of Louis Botha did not hesitate to join The Allies in the First World War and helped the armies in their fight.
The government of South Africa agreed to join the British Army units, so the Africans were free to join the European War, and began to make plans to invade the Germans in South-West Africa.
