... an Afrikaans word meaning "apartness", the state of being separate or segregated. It is the name given by the Afrikaner Nationalist Party, in office in South Africa after 1948, to the policies that govern relations between the country's 3, 000, 000 white inhabitants and its 12, 000, 000 nonwhite, mainly African, inhabitants.

In the view of the United Nations and many other member nations, the apartheid policy "is regarded as a rationalization for maintaining racial discrimination". For example, many reference books use the expressions "apartheid" and "racial separation" or "segregation" together. This extended sense shows how international the apartheid question has become.  4, record 6, English, - apartheid

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 7, English, - South%20African%20War

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.
