Boer War; Second Boer War; Anglo-Boer War; Second Anglo-Boer War : These terms are considered by some sources to be partisan or inaccurate. They are said to reflect the view that it was a "white man's war", despite the fact that many Africans were also involved and died in it. Although they also reflect the practice of naming British wars of less than global extent according to their location or to Britain's principal opponent, the more neutral term "South African War" came to dominate in usage.  9, record 1, English, - South%20African%20War

guerre d'Afrique du Sud; guerre des Boers; guerre anglo-boer: Lorsque ces termes sont employés au singulier à la forme absolue, ils désignent la deuxième guerre ayant opposé les Boers et les Britanniques, la première ayant opposé les Boers de la région du Transvaal aux Britanniques en 1880-1881.  6, record 1, French, - guerre%20d%27Afrique%20du%20Sud

guerre des Boers; guerre anglo-boer; seconde guerre des boers: Ces termes sont considérés par plusieurs sources comme étant partisans ou inexacts, puisqu'ils reflètent un certain courant qui occulte le fait que des milliers d'Africains ont participé à cette guerre et y ont laissé leur vie. Ces appellations s'inscrivent également dans la coutume qui consiste à nommer les guerres britanniques d'après le lieu de leur déroulement ou d'après le principal opposant de l'empire. On pourra donc employer de préférence le terme plus neutre «guerre d'Afrique du Sud».  6, record 1, French, - guerre%20d%27Afrique%20du%20Sud
