Natalia Republic

Natalia Republic appears on the map from 1840 to 1843. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1840, it covered about 37,668 km².

One of the realms of Boer Republics (Transvaal and Orange Free State). Dutch-speaking settlers at the Cape, known as Boers or Afrikaners, resented British rule and its abolition of slavery, and from 1835 thousands left on the Great Trek into the interior. After Britain annexed their short-lived republic of Natalia, they founded two independent states that Britain recognised: the South African Republic, or Transvaal, in 1852, and the Orange Free State in 1854.
