Initial
Boer
attacks
were
successful
,
and
although
British
reinforcements
later
reversed
Change
these
,
the
war
continued
for
years
with
Boer
guerrilla
warfare
,
until
harsh
British
counter-measures
brought
Bringing
the
Boers
to
terms
.
The
Boers
were
well
armed

and
struck
Attack
first
,
besieging
Ladysmith
,
Kimberley
,
and
Mahikeng
in
early
1900
,
and
winning
important
battles
at
Colenso
,
Magersfontein
and
Stormberg
.
The
onward
marches
of
the
British
Army
,
well
over
400,000
men
,
were
so
overwhelming
that
the
Boers
did
not
fight
staged
battles
in
defense
of
their
homeland
.
The
Boers
refused
Agree_or_refuse_to_act
to
surrender
Surrendering
.
The
Boers
were
attempting
to
break out

of
a
British
encircling
manoeuvre
.
Their
attack
was
repulsed

at
some
cost

to
the
Boers
in

and

.
One
reason
for
the
continued
Boers
successes
was
the
poor
quality
of
some
of
the
British
troops
in
the
theatre
.
It
was
a
resounding
victory

for
the
Boers
and
the
battle

is
considered
to
have
been
one
of
the
most
humiliating
defeats

of
British
arms
in
history
.
Colley
's
motive
for
occupying
Control
Majuba
Hill
may
have
been
anxiety
that
the
Boers
would
soon
occupy
Control
it
themselves
,
Colley
having
witnessed
Know
their
trenches
being
dug
in
the
direction
of
the
hill
.
The
Boers
believed
Know
that
he
might
have
been
attempting
to
outflank
Besieging
their
positions
at
Laing
's
Nek
.
The
hill
was
not
considered
to
be
scalable
by
the
Boers
,
for
military
purposes
,
and
hence
it
may
have
been
Colley
's
attempt
to
emphasise
Statement
British
power
and
strike
fear
into
the
Boer
camp
.
The
British
had
already
fought
Quarreling
a
series
of
battles
Hostile_encounter
with
the
Boers
,
most
recently
at
Modder
River
,
where
the
advance
Self_motion
was
temporarily
halted
Preventing_or_letting
.
This
allowed
Preventing_or_letting
the
Boers
to
survive
Preserving
the
initial
British
artillery
bombardment

;
when
the
British
troops
failed

to
deploy
from
a
compact
formation
during
their
advance
Self_motion
,
the
defenders
were
able
to
inflict
heavy
casualties
.
The
Boers
attained

a
tactical
victory
and
succeeded
in
