But there's history before that that's important because it's a different history than a lot of other British colonies and that's what South Africa was for a long time. But before the British came, there were Portuguese, we won't talk about the Portuguese, but the Dutch, the Dutch East India Company, which is going to discover Cape Town, again, geography, this awesome port on the southern tip of South Africa in the mid 1600s. They saw it as a refreshment colony, a place where their sailors, their merchants could stop on the way to making these awesome trade deals around the world. Now the Dutch are going to settle there, they're going to be called Boers, they speak Afrikaans, and that is a West Germanic language. So that's a different ethnic heritage history, the Dutch settlers, than the British when they come in the next century. Now the Dutch are certainly going to have their own problems other than the British, they're going to be the Cape Frontier Wars when they're fighting the indigenous people that live in the inland to this port that they have discovered and they're living around. But the British are going to roll in around 1800 and they're steadily going to take control of the colony.
