The discovery of diamonds (1867) and gold (1886) caused wealth and immigration, and increased the control of foreigners, like the Dutch(first) and English (later), over the native South Africans. Modern South Africa operated under a policy of apartheid (the separate development of the races) for many years. The 1990s brought an end to apartheid politically and gave its black majority the power.
