South Africa
South Africa appears on the map from 1932 to today. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1932, it covered about 2.06 million km².
One of the realms of Union and Republic of South Africa. The Union of South Africa was formed in 1910 from four British colonies, the Cape, Natal, Transvaal and Orange River, eight years after the Boer War. It was a self-governing dominion of the British Empire, but only white men, with limited exceptions in the Cape, could vote, and the Natives Land Act of 1913 confined Africans to a small share of the land.
