Экспорт российских лошадей для британской армии на юге Африки во время англо-бурской войны 1899-1902 гг, Export of Russian horses for the British army in southern Africa during the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902

<jats:p>During the Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902, Great Britain purchased horses on a massive scale from Russia for its army, which was fighting in southern Africa. Despite pro-Boer sentiments, the government allowed exports for fear of damaging the horse-breeding industry and provoking British counteraction. Private exports were not considered a violation of neutrality, and the economic benefits were significant. In 1902, a temporary ban on exports from seven provinces was introduced, but it came into force only a month before the end of the South African War.</jats:p>
