South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is a sovereign state occupying the southern tip of Africa.

History[]

Golden Age of Piracy[]

By the early 18th century, Cape Town, one of the earliest European outposts, had become the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony and its trading market was prosperous.[1] The Welsh pirate Edward Kenway traded olive oil[1] and cocoa pods with both the English and Dutch settlers in the city.[2]

War with England[]

In the mid-19th century, the British Empire was at war with the Xhosa Kingdom in what was the Cape Colony. The Royal Navy sent reinforcements in the form of a frigate, the HMS Birkenhead. In 1852, however, the frigate struck a large rock and sank along the country's coast. Many British soldiers died, others were evacuated in time, and few survived the impact.[3]

Late modern period[]

In the fall of 1913, First Civilization skulls were found in the village of Boskop.[4]
