> a Dutch uprising.
The Afrikaaners (Dutch-descended colonists) already had their own states (Transvaal, Orange Free state), so it wasn't quite an "uprising".
However there was a gold rush happening in the Transvaal in the late 1800s, and the problem was that it wasn't British-controlled, so that had to be fixed.
