The Reasons for the Great Trek
The Reasons for the Great Trek By Grant van den Berg This paper seeks to provide insight into the Great Trek, a significant event in South African history. The Great Trek was a major point in the development of Southern Africa with lasting effects on South African society today. Whether good or bad, the image of the Great Trek looms large in the minds of current-day South Africans. There are many differing views of the Great Trek. The view common in Afrikaner nationalist historiography is that the Great Trek was like the American War of Independence. Mariana Kriel, “Boere into Boere (Farmers into Boers): The so‐Called Great Trek and the Rise of Boer Nationalism,” Nations and Nationalism 27, no. 4 (2021): pp. 1198-1212, 1204.

The borders have also undergone significant transformations over time. In the 1950s, borders were more rigid and defined, and countries had strict immigration policies. Today, borders have become more fluid, and there is a growing trend toward globalization and the breaking down of physical borders.
However, despite these transformations, some things remain the same. For example, the use of language and symbols as a means of communication has remained consistent over time.
Additionally, while the nature of bor
