This section lists the main battles and engagements of the Boer War. The war had two phases, which are reflected in the nature of the battles between the combatants: The first phase, a conventional war between armies employing regular formations including artillery units and then, once the British had occipied the cities, a Seoond phase comprising a stubborn guerilla war by the Boer bitterenders against the British. Despite being hopelessly outmatched, the Boers made a good account of themselves, tying down much larger British forces and scoring significant victories even up to the end of the war.
