Battle of Bronkhorstspruit Part 1 #shorts #short #history #southafrica

Thought I'd switch things up a bit and do a clip from a South African movie called Majuba: Heuwel van Duiwe (english: Majuba: Hill of Doves) which is about the First Boer War (1880-1881).

Context:
In 1880, the situation in the British colony of Transvaal was getting tense. The Boers wanted to declare independence from Britain and form their own government. In December 1880, the Boers declared independence and made a government at Pretoria. The colonial government responded by sending troops from Lydenburg to Pretoria to quell the rebellion, little did they know that the Boers were waiting for them near Bronkhorstspruit.
