Stamps from Transvaal

Transvaal is an area in South Africa, north of the Vaal River. The independent South African Republic issued stamps here from 1870.

In 1877 the United Kingdom annexed the South African Republic under the name Transvaal. Occupation stamps were issued.

In 1880, the South African Republic declared itself independent again and the First Boer War broke out. After their defeat in 1881, the British had to recognize the independence of the South African Republic. From 1882, the Republic again issued its own stamps.

In 1888 the New Republic of South Africa voluntarily joined the South African Republic and in 1891 the republic of Klein Vrystaat. During the Second Boer War (1899-1902) the Republic was gradually completely occupied by the British.

From 1900 onwards, the British issued occupation stamps for the areas under their control. After the British victory in 1902, the South African Republic was transformed into the British colony of Transvaal. In 1903, the former New Republic of South Africa was transferred from Transvaal to the British colony of Natal.

In 1910, the British colonies of Natal, Transvaal, Orange River Colony and Cape Colony were united to form the self-governing British dominion of the Union of South Africa.

Transvaal is een gebied in Zuid-Afrika, ten noorden van de Vaalrivier. De onafhankelijke Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek gaf hier postzegels uit vanaf 1870.

In 1877 annexeerde het Verenigd Koninkrijk de Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek onder de naam Transvaal. Er werden bezettingszegels uitgegeven.

In 1880 verklaarde de Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek zich opnieuw onafhankelijk en brak de Eerste Boerenoorlog uit. Na hun nederlaag in 1881 moesten de Britten de onafhankelijkheid van de Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek erkennen. Vanaf 1882 gaf de Republiek opnieuw eigen postzegels uit.

In 1888 sloot de Nieuwe Republiek Zuid-Afrika zich vrijwillig aan bij de Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek en in 1891 de republiek Klein Vrystaat. Tijdens de Tweede Boerenoorlog (1899-1902) werd de Republiek geleidelijk aan volledig bezet door de Britten.

Vanaf 1900 gaven de Britten bezettingszegels uit voor de gebieden onder hun controle. Na de Britse overwinning in 1902 werd de Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek omgevormd tot de Britse kolonie Transvaal. In 1903 werd de voormalige Nieuwe Republiek Zuid-Afrika overgeheveld van Transvaal naar de Britse kolonie Natal.

In 1910 werden de Britse kolonies Natal, Transvaal, Oranjerivierkolonie en Kaapkolonie verenigd tot het autonoom Brits dominion Unie van Zuid-Afrika.
