Answer:

It was fought between the British Empire and the two Boer Republics (the South African Republic and the Orange Free State) over the Empire's influence in Southern Africa from 1899

Explanation:

The war began on October 11 1899, following a Boer ultimatum that the British should cease building up their forces in the region. The Boers had refused to grant political rights to non-Boer settlers, known as Uitlanders, most of whom were British, or to grant civil rights to Africans.

Why did the aristocracy choose to expand popular participation in some nations?
Vinvika [58]
Many of the people who supported these ideas relied on the fact that later when they voted those people who got their voting rights because of the aristocracy would support them and they would gain political power because of new voters. This was a common strategy and is still used widely today because new voters can easily be influenced.
