THis should be merged with History of South Aftrica (Alphaboi867 18:31, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC))

Umm, why? At least substantiate your sweeping statement. Dewet 19:15, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I think this should stay were it is but be improved. The History of South Africa article is getting too big. --Jcw69 06:30, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

South West Africa (now Namibia) was never part of either the Union of South Africa, or the Republic. While it was treated as a de facto fifth province, it was never officially incorporated into South Africa.

Union was a milestone in our history

This article should be developed to one with Main article status, I am amazed to see how flimsy the content is. Gregorydavid 04:36, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've started expanding this article. However it will need to be checked through and so on. Im relying in part on 500 Years of South African History and The Unification of South Africa and have added both texts to a Bibliography section at the end. If people can please check for spelling errors and typing errors (I've asked a few friends to check the article and make contributions, but with me spelling and grammer creep in inevitably). I've made a concerted effort not to use the texts in any manner that touches on copywrite enfrindgment.Paul Hjul 16:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have quite a few of the standard texts for the Union period, though my interests are primarily pre 1910. I started off the as yet unfinished South Africa Act 1909 article - I'll try and find some time to finish it off. We could keep the legal/constitutional issues there and deal with the social/historical issues here. We could probably deal with the Union negotiations in a seperate article. At some point I'll try to add a section dealing with customs rates etc as a spur to the Union.

I'll get looking onto that article as well. Particularly dealing with the process of Unification (which I think has a fair amount of print coverage but hasn't really filtered to electronic media) Wrt Customs rates - one step ahead there :) Was going to add a section on the customs union et al today.
