The colonization of South of Africa is linked to the resettlement of the Dutch and the English, engaged in various entrepreneurial activities - trade, mining, agriculture, etc. The formation of South African Union was preceded by a long period when the idea of uniting the British colonial possessions in southern Africa was consistently formed and created by long-term plans. At the same time, several powers competed for economic penetration into South Africa, for instance, albeit to a lesser degree, the United States of America in addition to Germany and England. From 1869 to 1886 the world's largest deposits of diamonds and gold were discovered, which produced a staggering effect on the whole world and radically changed the situation in the region. Conflict of interests in the struggle for control over the richest resources led to war (both campaigns are sometimes called the Boer War), which was the first one in the 20th century. The Anglo-Boer War, the largest international event is of interest from a wide variety of points of view, had left a notable mark in the history of Russia. The Russian government sought to support the Boers and take advantage of the difficulties of their then main rival in the world arena at a time, and the Boers in turn needed the support of world powers in their struggle. Although diplomatic relations with Russia were established the Russian embassy in Pretoria never appeared, due to the fact that a year later the war began. As a result of the war and the processes taking place in the southern part of Africa, emerged the British dominion - South African Union. The approval by the British Parliament of the “South Africa Act” liquidated the last obstacles to the establishment of the Union, and on May 31, 1910, the establishment of a new state, the South African Union, was officially proclaimed. Therefore the socio-economic and political processes that took place in South Africa were reflected in the world politics of that time and had serious consequences of the global scale. They had an important influence in shaping the foreign policy strategy of a new state as yet the dominion of Great Britain.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>История формирования Южной Африки как единого государства в XIX - начале XX в. тесно переплетена с событиями мировой политики того времени. Колонизация юга Африки происходила в основном за счет переселения голландцев и англичан, занимавшихся различной предпринимательской деятельностью - торговлей, добычей минерального сырья, сельским хозяйством и пр. Образованию Южно-Африканского Союза предшествовал весьма продолжительный период, в ходе которого последовательно формировалась идея объединения английских колониальных владений на юге Африки и создавались долгосрочные планы реализации намеченного. За экономическое проникновение в Южную Африку кроме Германии с Англией соперничали еще нескольких европейских держав и США. С 1869 г. по 1886 г. на данной территории были обнаружены крупнейшие в мире месторождения алмазов и золота, что коренным образом изменило ситуацию в регионе. Конфликт интересов в борьбе за контроль над богатейшими ресурсами привел к первой войне XX в. - англо-бурской, которая оставила заметный след и в истории России. Правительство России стремилось поддержать буров и извлечь выгоды из затруднений своего тогдашнего главного соперника на мировой арене, а буры в свою очередь нуждались в поддержке мировых держав. Хотя дипломатические отношения с Россией были установлены, российское посольство в Претории так и не появилось, через год началась война. В результате возник британский доминион Южно-Африканский Союз. Утверждение британским парламентом «Акта о Южной Африке» ликвидировало последние препятствия на пути создания союза, 31 мая 1910 г. было официально провозглашено создание нового государства - Южно-Африканского Союза. Так происходившие на юге Африки социально-экономические и политические процессы находили свое отражение в мировой политике того времени. Они оказали важное влияние на формирование стратегии нового государства, пока еще доминиона Великобритании.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>History of international relations</kwd><kwd>South Africa</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>foreign policy</kwd><kwd>UK</kwd><kwd>Union of South Africa</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>история международных отношений</kwd><kwd>Южная Африка</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>внешняя политика</kwd><kwd>Великобритания</kwd><kwd>Южно-Африканский Союз</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Attree, E.
