Union of South Africa
The
Union of South Africa
is the historic predecessor to the present-day
Republic of South Africa
. It came into being on 31 May 1910 with the unification of four previously separate
British colonies
:
Cape Colony
,
Natal Colony
,
Transvaal Colony
and
Orange River Colony
. Following
World War I
, the Union of South Africa was granted the administration of the
German South-West Africa
colony as a
League of Nations
mandate and it became treated in most respects as if it were another province of the Union.
