The Second Boer War was a conflict between Britain and the Boer Republics of South Africa. The United States of America was involved in the war in a number of ways, albeit they did not participate in the war itself. Diplomatic relations between Britain and the United States were influenced by the Boer War, and public opinion of the Boer War in the United States significantly affected American politics. American volunteers were present on both sides, abelit with more fighting for the British rather than for the Boers. Coverage of the war tended to take both sides, with the New York Times siding with the British cause, whilst other publications such as the Washington Post took the side of the Boers. Hospital ships were also provided by the United States, with volunteer nurses from the US working for the Red Cross in South Africa.
