The war officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging, which gave the Boers approximately $5,700,000 to reconstruct and established the Union of South Africa, which was absorbed into the British Empire. The total number of casualties during the war was around 75,000, of which 22,000 were British soldiers, 7,000 were Boer soldiers, 25,000 were Boer civilians (many of whom died in insanitary internment camps set up by the British) and possibly 20,000 black Africans. However the majority of the British casualties were as a result of disease and not through enemy fire.
