Following the defeat of the Boers in the Anglo–Boer or South African War, the Union of South Africa was established on May 31, 1910, as a self-governing dominion of the British Empire under the South Africa Act 1909, which merged the four previously separate British colonies: Cape Colony, Colony of Natal, Transvaal Colony, and Orange River Colony. Following the passage of the Status of the Union Act in 1934, the country became a fully autonomous nation state inside the British Empire. The monarchy ended on May 31, 1961, and was replaced by a republic as a result of a 1960 vote that legitimised the country becoming the Republic of South Africa.
