Episode 1.18 The Drift's Crisis and the Jameson Raid … in this installment of the South African War (Anglo-Boer War) season Jan 21, 2021

Show notes

Events that some call the first shots of the South African War of 1899-1902 (the Anglo-Boer War). Notes: 1) Cecil Rhodes's previous episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/forgotten-wars/id1535351938?i=1000494291050 2) The show cannot go without you sharing the podcast and leaving a written review if you're an Apple Podcast user. Something as simple as "This is world history I never even learned in college" would go a long way. But whatever you write, be authentic. 3) Treat yourself to our sponsors and support the show using this link: https://forgottenwarspodcast.com/donate/
