When did the battles of Paardeberg ('Horse Mountain') and Lillefontein take place?

  1. 1900

  2. 1914

  3. 1899

  4. 1917

The correct answer is: 1900

The battles of Paardeberg and Lillefontein took place in 1900 during the second Boer War of 1899-1902. Option B (1914) is incorrect because the battles took place during the second Boer War, which ended in 1902. Option C (1899) is also incorrect because while the second Boer War began in 1899, the battles specifically happened in 1900. Option D (1917) is incorrect because it is too late for the timeline of the second Boer War.
