Let's assume that for what ever reason (not important now), the Dutch keep the Cape Colony. My question is: would have the Great Trek still taken place? Would have the Boer Republics still been established? I have heard arguments for both 'yes' and 'no' being made on this site. Both arguments...

Hello again. I have another idea I would like to throw around. This has to do with my New Union timeline, in which the August Coup does not happen, and the Soviet Union is able to transform into a Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics. Anyway, I recall someone mentioning that the Afghan civil war...
