The '''Transvaal''' is a former province of [[South Africa]], located in the north of the country, north of the River Vaal which seperated it from the [[Orange Free State]]. The name was informally attached to the quasi-independent [[South African Republic]], which existed from the 1870s until it was conquered by Britain during the [[Boer War]], and was used by the British as the official name of the newly-acquired territory.
