British forces captured the Dutch colony at the Cape of Good Hope in 1795 and 1806, and obtained title to it in 1814. Dutch farmers (Boers) migrated north to leave British control, and formed two republics (the Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek (or Transvaal) and the Orange Free State) to the north of the British area. In the Boer Wars, British forces defeated the two republics and annexed the lands, which were joined with the British colonies of the Cape of Good Hope and Natal to form the Union of South Africa in 1910.
