The "보어 공화국" (Boer Republic) refers to two independent states established by the Boer settlers in southern Africa during the 19th century. These republics were the South African Republic (Transvaal) and the Orange Free State. They were formed as a result of the Great Trek, where the Boers moved away from British-controlled territories. The Boer Republics were characterized by their agrarian economies and a strong sense of independence. They faced conflicts with the British Empire, leading to the Anglo-Boer Wars in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Ultimately, both republics were incorporated into the British Empire, significantly impacting the region's history.
