<human>:  When did the Anglo-Boer War end?
<bot>: The Anglo-Boer War started in 1899 and lasted until 1902. It was the first of three wars fought between the British Empire and the Boer Republics. The war was a military conflict between the British Empire and the South African Republic and the Orange Free State. It began after the discovery of gold in the Transvaal region of South Africa, which led to a dispute between the British and the Boers over the control of the area.
