Just because youve heard about South African apartheid doesnt mean you know its history or how the system of racial segregation actually worked; with this summary, improve your understanding and see how it overlapped with Jim Crow in the United States.
The European presence in South Africa dates back to the 17th century, when the Dutch East India Company established the Cape Colony outpost.
Over the next three centuries, Europeans, primarily of British and Dutch origin, would expand their presence in South Africa to pursue the land’s abundance of natural resources such as diamonds and gold. In 1910, whites founded the Union of South Africa, an independent arm of the British Empire that gave the white minority control of the country and disenfranchised blacks.
