Trans·vaal AHD[trăns-välʹ, trănz-] D.J.[trænsˈvɑːl, trænz-]K.K.[trænsˈvɑl, trænz-]NONE(无词性)- A region of northeast South Africa. Inhabited by Bantu-speaking Black Africans, the area was settled by Boer farmers who formed an independent state, called the South African Republic, in the 1850's. Great Britain annexed the territory in 1877, but the discovery of gold in 1886 led to an influx of settlers, further tensions between the British and the Boers, and the eventual formation of the Transvaal as a crown colony (1900) after the Boer War. Transvaal became a part of South Africa in 1910.德兰士瓦省:南非东北部一个地区。这一地区居住着讲班图语的非洲黑人,19世纪50年代布尔农民建立此区,布尔人还成立了一个独立国家,称作南非共和国。1877年英国吞并了这个地区,但是1886年在该地区发现黄金后,大批拓居者纷纷涌入,加剧了英国和布尔人之间的矛盾,并最终使德兰士瓦省在布尔战争后成为一个直辖殖民地(1900年)。1910年德兰士瓦省成为南非的一部分
