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 of the city.[2]
Victorian era
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 1851, however, the frigate struck a large rock and sank along the colony's coast. Many British soldiers died, others were evacuated, and few survived the impact.[3]
Modern times
In the fall of 1913, First Civilization skulls were discovered in the village of Boskop.[4]
