Manage episode 438408913 series 3595588
Join John and Patrick as they delve into the early interactions between Dutch settlers and Khoikhoi pastoralists at the Cape of Good Hope. What begins as a Dutch East India Company refreshment outpost to supply ships traveling to and from the East Indies evolves into a catalyst for European colonization driven by trade and agricultural ambitions. As Dutch settlers strive to expand their farms, tensions rise over land acquisition. How will the Khoikhoi respond to these encroachments? Will peace prevail, or will conflict ensue?
