With the surrender of the last resisting army in Mozambique, the South African War also began to approach its end, and East Africa turned its guns to fully attack the Cape Town colony.
Meanwhile, the shifting situation in South Africa triggered a massive upheaval in the United Kingdom, with Prime Minister Cecil facing increasing pressure by the day.
Cecil, whose full name is "Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquis of Salisbury."
He was another Prime Minister extremely hostile towards East Africa, following the "Moderate Faction" figure Gladstone, and his diplomatic policies and tactics were even more extreme than Gladstone's.
For example, during Gladstone's era, the political strategy towards Ireland mainly advocated "autonomy," but in 1886, after Cecil took office, it turned into "military suppression." Almost all wars in the late 19th century were proactively planned by him.
