jan 1, 1908 - The Act of Union
Description:
In 1908 a South African National Convention, a body containing a representative from each region, met to politically unite all four colonies. The agreement was later known as the South African Act of 1909 (Act of Union). This new union was given dominion status in the British Empire, meaning it was now a fully independent state.Added to timeline:
