The Cape: Difference between revisions

By June of 1887, following major uprisings in Cape Town, Kiravia exited the Cape. The NRA’s provisional government was recognized provided the new state remained a Kiravian ally and allowed the continuation of Kiravian trade. The transition of statehood from Cape Colony to the [[Capetian Provisional Government]] was formalized on June 22, 1887. By 1888, Natalia’s Indigenous population was in open revolt, with most local chiefs and leaders pledging allegiance to the NRA. “Liberating the peoples of Natalia” became official policy at the first convocation of the [[National Parliament (the Cape)|National Parliament]]. The invasion of Natalia would conclude in February of 1891. On October 7, the newly formed Federacy of the Cape was declared the successor state to both Cape Colony and Natalia, with Melvyn Kalma serving as the first [[Prime Executive of the Cape|Prime Executive]].

Kalma subsequently introduced many [[Restarkism|reforms]], such as {{wp|secularism|secularizing}} the state, establishing a period of redress for the Indigenous peoples, and instituting industrializing reforms with the goal of transforming the Cape into a modern, Occidental {{wp|nation state}}, governed as a {{wp|constitutional republic}} with a secular {{wp|constitution}}. To this end, the political activities of the NRA were separated into the civilian [[Republican Nationalist Party]] - which was to govern the country under a {{wp|one-party state|single-party period}} of tutelage until such reforms were complete. Following the establishment of the Federacy, certain groups in the former Natalia, both upper and working-class, became discontent with Kalma's reforms. Anti-secularist and anti-tutelage/pro-democracy (the [[Kadets Rebellion]]) revolts broke out in 1897 and 1911, respectively, which were suppressed with military force.
