Vereeniging, treaty of This brought the second
Boer War to a close. On 31 May 1902 at Vereeniging in southern Transvaal the Boers accepted Britain's final offer: that they declare themselves subjects of King Edward VII, in return for which they would get their lands back, with compensation for buildings and crops that had been destroyed; be allowed the use of their language in schools and law courts; and be given self‐government as soon as possible, with a racist franchise if that was what they really desired.
