Removed following text from history section[edit]

I removed the following: "Even as more countries added to the call for sanctions, the UK remained unwilling to sever ties with the apartheid regime. Possible reasons were her copious assets in the state, an unwillingness to hazard turbulence brought on by intercontinental meddling, and the fact that many British people had kith and kin living in South Africa or, indeed, were living there themselves. Along with the United States, Britain would persistently vote against certain sanctions against South Africa." The text here makes fairly significant claims without citation. I left this notice here in case some editor is able to find reliable sources backing it up and hence intends to re-instate it. Thanks, thorpewilliam (talk) 03:17, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Boer Wars section?[edit]

It seems that a fair portion of South African-UK relations are missing from this, especially the Boer Wars, which heavily affected sentiment in both nations for decades. I guess the question is if this is entirely post creation of the Dominion, or if it should include at least references to previous events that directly affected how South Africa grew and changed. 2600:1700:4EE:44F0:40FE:272A:F693:3ED9 (talk) 23:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
