During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars (1792-1815), Britain occupied the Cape from 1795 to 1803, when the Dutch regained control; Holland formally ceded it to Great Britain in 1806. The British named the territory Cape of Good Hope Colony and encouraged immigration from England. The new British settlers soon conflicted with the Boers over anglicization of the courts, control of farm- and pastureland, and slaveholding. Beginning in 1835 many Boers left Cape Colony (see Trek, Great ), seeking more land and escape from British rule. The Boers founded a temporary republic in Natal (see KwaZulu-Natal ) and longer-lasting republics in the Transvaal and Orange Free State (see Free State ).
