Granada, España
The Second Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) had an impact on Spain after its defeat in the Spanish-American War (1898). The harmony between Britain and the US alarmed Spain: fearing Britain should wish to seize Spanish overseas territories through aggressive policies, as with the Transvaal and Orange. The Spanish press, public opinion and literature rejected Britain’s imperialist policy and spiritually supported the Boers’ cause. Additionally, Britain’s historiography on the Boer War has largely focused on attributing the invention of concentration camps to General Weyler in order to soften Britain’s international image after her inhumane treatment of Afrikaners and black Africans.
