What political party is responsible for apartheid?

The National Party in South Africa was primarily responsible for the implementation of apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination that lasted from 1948 until the early 1990s. The party, representing the interests of the white minority, enacted laws that enforced racial separation in all aspects of life, including education, healthcare, and housing. Apartheid policies were met with widespread resistance, both domestically and internationally, leading to significant social and political changes over time.
