As early as 1914, a delegation from the new African National Congress traveled from South Africa to England to call for more freedoms.

This time the British were victorious. They united the four colonies in the region into the Union of South Africa in 1910, and soon began to establishpolices that segregated black andwhite residents. One of these, theNative LandAct, limited black land ownership to a tiny fraction of the country. This led to white ownership of more than 80 percent of the land even though they were less than 20 percent of the population.
