in may 1902, britain won the second boer war. chamberlain visited south africa to try to help make a better relationship between the two countries. back in britain, he also spoke to zionist jews (jews who wanted their own country) and spoke about giving land in kenya to them. this plan was never realised. chamberlain tried to make an alliance with germany, but when this did not work he made an alliance between france and britain. this was called the entente cordiale, and ended hundreds of years of fighting between the two countries.
