South African War

South African War was a war caused by Afrikaner separatism and white nationalism in South Africa. The two sides are the Afrikaner Republicball and the National South African Republicball.

The Afrikaner Republicball had declared independence some years before and received limited recognition, the main reason for separating was the refusal to land reforms by the part of the Afrikaner land owners. The separation broke South Africa apart as tribalist militias started to rise up against the central government in attempt to get regional independence.

National South African Republicball was founded as the successor of the former Republic of South Africa and claimed all its lands, after successfully crushing a far-right and monarchist Zulu uprising, the National government managed to unite most former territories under its control after years of intense combat. However the Afrikaners refused to be part of it again and defended their independence, they received aid from the Jewish Empirecube, which raised the accusations of it being a “second Israel”.

The Afrikaners even in a much smaller number were well armed and managed to suppress internal black revolts, resulting in an exodus of many from the region. The National government attacked the republic in 2209 following failure in negotiations.

The war lasted for almost six years. The National government was able to retake the city of Kimberley in 2214 with the military help of the Sovereign Republic of Iranball, still there was a long and bloody war to be fought. International organizations organized meetings to stop the war as it was being too brutal and could end up in a massive genocide.

In 2215 a resolution was approved, a new government would be formed after free elections. The Afrikaners have right to lands but would have to agree with a reform if it passed in a referendum. With the dismantle of the two governments, following the “surrender” of the Afrikaner government, after a long and controversial electoral process, the USSARball was founded and later became a continental entity.

A lot of right-wing Afrikaners refused the agreement and continued the armed struggle, different from more progressive ones who supported a reform that could benefit both sides. The land reform wasn’t done entirely violent because of this people though, even they attacked Union troops.
