Modern humans have resided at the Southern tip of Africa for than 100000 years and their ancestors were there for some 3.3 million years. South Africa history is divided into two phases based on broad patters of technology named Stone Age and Iron Age. In 1652, the Dutch East India Company landed the first European settlers on the Cape of Good Hope introducing a colony that by the end of the 18th century numbered about 15000. In 1795 the pilgrims attempted to set up an independent republic. In the wake of assuming control over the Cape Colony in that year, Britain took lasting belonging in 1815, toward the finish of Napoleonic Wars, bringing in 5000 pioneers.In 1867 the discovery of diamonds and gold brought a flood of “outlanders” nine years later into the republics. The discoveries led to new conflicts leading to an open warfare between Boer settlers and the British Empire, fought fundamentally for control over the nascent South African mining industry. As the Boer got defeated in South African war, the Union of South Africa was created as a self-governing dominion of the British Empire on 31st May 1910 in terms of the South Africa Act 1909, which united the four previously separate colonies named Cape Colony, Colony of Natal, Transvall Colony and Orange River Colony. South Africa became a completely sovereign country state within the British Empire. After decades of armed struggle, terrorism and international opposition, the African National Congress achieved victory in the country’s first democratic election.
