Zimbabwe and Canada: Historical Struggle Meets Historical Vacuum
This article argues that a poverty of historical understanding of Canada’s relations with Zimbabwe has had a debilitating effect on Canadian government policy in southern Africa in recent years. More particularly, this vacuum of Canadian historical understanding has encouraged a profound scepticism on the part of African governments about the Canadian government’s motives for intervening in Zimbabwean affairs, and has helped to create an atmosphe…

The Lion and the Springbok: Britain and South Africa since the Boer War
The Lion and the Springbok presents an account of the dynamics and divergences of the 'uneasy special relationship' of Britain and South Africa. From the bruising experience of the South African War (1899–1902) to South Africa's withdrawal from the Commonwealth in 1961, the authors chart this relationship in all its political, economic, cultural and geostrategic aspects. All the major disputes are discussed including the struggle for the High Com…

International Impact of the Boer War
The Origins of the Boer War: The Periphery, the Centre and the “Man on the Spot”
After the passage of a century and the appearance of countless publications on the Boer War, there remain the most profound differences of opinion about the war's origins. Many of the more recent accounts have emphasized Britain's economic interests in the southern African periphery – principally in the production and supply of gold – and the consequent necessity of removing the administratively backward and economically obstructionist regime of …

The 'key to South Africa' in the 1890s: Delagoa Bay and the origins of the South African war
Developments at Delagoa Bay have not generally been seen as having a direct bearing on the outbreak of war between Britain and the Transvaal in 1899. Britain's lack of control over the Bay has typically been viewed as a threat to British ascendancy in southern Africa only in the period prior to the signing of the Anglo‐German agreement in August 1898. Before then, the Bay and its railway to the Rand were seen as providing a route through which ri…

Britain, South Africa and the sterling area: Gold production, capital investment and agricultural markets 1931–1961
South Africa was part of the sterling area (an international currency and payments system centred on Britain) from 1933 until the area itself collapsed in the early 1970s. This was despite the fact that throughout this period, and especially after 1948, Afrikaner nationalists were actively undermining other elements of the British connection. The South African government was compelled to enter and remain in the area above all because of its depen…

Britain and South Africa at the United Nations: ‘South West Africa’, ‘Treatment of Indians’ and ‘Race Conflict’, 1946–1961
The British alignment with South Africa at the United Nations in the years 1946 to 1%0 seems simple enough to explain. A British government preoccupied with protecting its economic and strategic interests in South Africa (or even just its economic interests there) supported South Africa in this international forum until the domestic and international resction against apartheid forced a limited change of British policy; and though in 1%1 the Briti…
