I. D nya Savaşı ncesindeki en nemli savaşlardan biri olan, yıl gibi uzun bir s re devam eden Boer Savaşı askeri a ıdan olduğu kadar siyasi a ıdan da ok dikkat ekici bir savaştır. I. D nya Savaşı ncesinde İngiltere'yi ger ek anlamda zorlayan bu savaşta modern piyade t feği, telsizler ve seri ateşlemeli toplar başta olmak zere farklı asker teknolojiler ve yeni taktikler b y k l ekte muharebe sahasına s r lm şt r. evirisi yapılan B y k Boer Savaşı kitabının yazarı, kurgu polisiye kitapları (Sherlock Holmes) ile meşhur olan Sir Arthur Conan Doyle'dur. Ger ek bir İngiliz milliyet isi ve vatanseveri olan Sir Arthur Conan Doyle bu savaşa g n ll olarak katılmış ve olayları İngiliz bakış a ısıyla anlatmıştır. Bu nedenle tarafsız bir kitap değildir, İngilizlerin, Boer gayrinizami harp unsurlarıyla m cadele etmek i in g n m zde soykırım olarak adlandırılabilecek (araziyi yakma ve toplama kampları gibi) bir ok uygulamasını haklı g stermeye alışmıştır. Bunu yaparken bazen kendi tarafının ne kadar ulvi bir ama la hareket ettiğini anlatmış bazen de karşı tarafı su lamıştır. Savaşın asıl gerek esi, İngilizlerin o d nemde G ney Afrika'da keşfedilen d nyanın en zengin altın (1898 senesindeki yıllık retim 118 ton) ve elmas madenlerinin (1870'ler ve 1880'lerde, d nya elmas retiminin %95'i) kontrol n ele ge irmek istemesidir.
