South Africa is a British affiliated country on the southernmost portion of the continent of Africa between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. A core area of the global British Empire. The written history of the area began with Dutch Colonization. An English annexation in the 17th century has defined the nation's modern history. Rich with natural resources, South Africa is one of the largest producers of gold and coal. The Ethnic diversity between Black African natives, Dutch Afrikaners, English settlers and other imported populations has continually molded the country. As a result of continued immigration after 1900, South Africa has the largest, and growing European population in Africa. European Whites consist of 42% of the national population, with an additional 23% of the population having mixed racial ancestry.
