Boer negotiators travelled from Vereeniging to Pretoria to present their proposals for surrender to British representatives, Lord Milner and Lord Kitchener. They were still asking for a continued independence of the Boer republics. This happened towards the end of the Anglo-Boer War II which broke out in October 1899. It ended with the signing of the Peace Treaty of Vereeniging on 31 May 1902.
