The origins of apartheid can be traced back to the colonization of South Africa by European settlers, particularly the Dutch and British. As white settlers gained power and control over the land, they implemented laws and policies to maintain their supremacy and control over the indigenous Black population. The fear of losing power and the belief in white superiority further fueled the development of apartheid, which officially began in 1948 with the National Party's election victory.
