Afrikaner nationalism is a nationalist ideology that emerged during the nineteenth century as a reaction to British colonialism in South Africa.

Origins

Afrikaner nationalism is considered to have been "awakened" among Afrikaans-speaking South Africans during the latter half of the nineteenth century, once the discovery of diamonds and gold threatened the independence of the Orange Free State and Transvaal Republics.[1]
