## Resource

There’s Gold in Them There Hills! It’s 1896, and the Boer Republic of the Transvaal is awash with gold after the largest gold discovery in human history. Yet even as they celebrate their newfound riches, in the shadows a conspiracy is forming to seize control of their entire nation. Cecil Rhodes—arch-imperialist and the richest man in South Africa—is about to launch one of the most daring and disastrous adventures in the history of the British Empire: The Jameson Raid. #history #militaryhistory #southafrica #boerwar #britishempire #historynerd Hosted on Acast.
