Answer:

There was two Boer Wars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first

The war resulted in a Boer victory and eventual independence of the South African Republic.

The second

They reverted to guerrilla warfare, under new generals Louis Botha, Jan Smuts, Christiaan de Wet, and Koos de la Rey, in a campaign of surprise attacks and quick escapes lasting almost two years before defeat.

The war ended on May 31, 1902, with the final Boers surrendering. Canadian soldiers distinguished themselves in this war. Four received the Victoria Cross, 19 received the Distinguished Service Order and 17 the Distinguished Conduct Order. Canada's senior nurse, Georgina Pope, received the Royal Red Cross. Many monuments were erected to celebrate their accomplishments, including the one on University Avenue in Toronto.
