What was the motivation of the mother land to keep the anglo-boer war going? the british were looking forward to colonial control of gold mines. with every loss of a soldier, british citizens vowed to continue the fight. there was no motivation; the british grew tired of war. the british population sought war in other parts of the world.

The correct answer is: There was no motivation; the British grew tired of war.

British restrictions had been placed on the Northern expansion of the Boers in an effort to placate the native African population who were at this time resisting any European expansion. The Boers resisted and defied British rule and continued their Northern expansion. The power struggle evolved and progressed until serious hostilities eupted.The war was caused by British greed (Transvaal goldfields),the refusal of the Boer Republics to grant immigrants citizenship,the continuous improvement of relations between the republics and Germany.

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
