The Boers and the British went to war over a few key issues. First off, the Boers refused to give political rights to non-Boer settlers, which many of them were of British descent. Second off, the Boers gave an ultimatum to the British to stop expanding in their forces within the area and opposed the idea of British rule within the Transvaal Republic.
