The Boer War Ends

On May 31, 1902 - the Treaty of Vereeniging was signed - officially ending the three-and-a-half-year (second) South African Boer War. Very interesting history which is for the most part forgotten these days.

A very under-rated movie about the end of this war is Breaker Morant which I heartily recommend.
