Afrikaner Nationalism in the twentieth century emerged due to a combination of historical, cultural, and socio-political factors. The legacy of the Boer Wars fostered a sense of unity and identity among Afrikaners, who felt marginalized by British colonial rule. Economic challenges, particularly during the Great Depression, also intensified feelings of nationalism as Afrikaners sought to promote their own interests and values. Additionally, the establishment of the National Party in 1914 and the promotion of Afrikaans as a language of education and government further solidified Afrikaner identity and aspirations for political power.
