While the Boer republics managed to scrounge up a few foreign arms shipments and volunteer units IOTL, is there any way to drag in some serious foreign intervention on the behalf of the Great Powers? Germany is about the only one that comes to mind (in light of the Kruger telegram), but I'd like to hear what everyone has to say. I know the scenario sounds awfully implausible, but maybe a diplomatic gaffe at the right time and place might escalate into a conflict between the British and some other power?
