Mid To Late 20th CenturySouth Africa

During much of the 20th century it was dominated by a white minority which controlled the government.

By 1910, South Africa gained its freedom from Britain. Whites made up less than 20% of the population but

controlled most of the fertile land and mineral resources.

By 1912, the African National Congress was set up to oppose white domination.

Afrikaners—descendants from Dutch settlers by 1948 set up the Afrikaner National Party. It was a majority ina whites-only Parliament. The system of Apartheid was

set up at this time. Apartheid = Apartness
