Is South Africa Still A British Colony

**British Legacy in South Africa: From Colonization to Self-Governance** During the Anglo-French conflict, Great Britain extended its colonial influence to South Africa, leading to the Boer War. On May 31, 1910, several British colonies in South Africa were amalgamated to form the Union of South Africa. While this granted the country self-governance, it remained a colony within the British Empire. Today, a considerable number of South Africans trace their heritage to British ancestry, a testament to the enduring impact of British colonization on the nation's demographics.
