Doyle presents the Boers, comprised largely of Dutch and German immigrants, as the antagonist, accusing them of forcing Great Britain into war. Once the war is under way, European press begin attacking British troops, accusing them of atrocities, rudeness, disrespect and other foul acts toward Boer women and children as well as prisoners.
