Boers win the war and expand

Although I must say the the Boers had no chance to win this war, they fought completely defensively except for their raiding team into the Northern Cape Area. The British held all the cards they would fight up to a point where the supply lines were stretched dig in and then wait for reinforcements. They took their time, and just ground the Boers into the ground.

But Abdul the British were quite aware of the Germans in South West Africa and their ties to the Boers. They were arming them not fully because of the block in British Bunchuland or whatever it was called. One of the Boer War aims was to gain this territory (It would never happen though because they were always fighting for their existance not expansion) The protectorate thing was only an ultimate fear of the British never a real chance of it happening. But then again that was what half of the British land grabs were about: Containing the expansion of other European Countries.
