Apartheid grew out of the colonization of South Africa, the fear of losing power, and the belief in White supremacy. The Dutch and British colonizers who settled in South Africa implemented discriminatory policies and segregation to maintain control over the indigenous Black population. The apartheid system was formally established in 1948 by the National Party, which sought to enforce racial segregation and uphold the idea of White supremacy. This system of institutionalized racism and oppression lasted for decades until it was eventually dismantled in the early 1990s.
