- Stage 2: Protest
- When the British government took over many people left the colony. The people moved in a mass migration to Great Trek. The British provided funds for Boers but not for Africans to rebuild their destroyed homes and farms. The new constitution made it impossible for nonwhites to ever get voting rights. Since the new constitution was taking place it was the start of South Africa's system of racial segregation.
- Stage 3: Revolution
- Whites and non whites were segregated socially, None whites had fewer educational opportunities for their future. Not everyone was being treated equally and were being treated poorly. The ones that were treated right were given more opportunities such as a better education. Those who were not treated fairly were given less opportunities and suffered more.
- Stage 4: Recovery
- Over the next months africans rioted all over the country. In the 1980’s during the protests, the government began to retreat from its strict policies. To make South Africa change its race policies, the international community imposed economic sanctions. Lots of people of South Africans joined the apartheid movement. The South African government responded brutally and violently to peaceful protests in Sharpeville. More than 60 died and 180 wounded. School children in Soweto were peacefully marching when people fired on them and killed many of them.
- In 1899 the Boer War which was known to be the South African War broke out. After three years of fighting the British defeated the Boers. Before WWII English speaking whites dominated the South African government. Homelands were in the most barren areas of the country.
- An attempt to maintain control and stop the violence that was happening, South Africa’s government declared the national state of emergency in 1986.
