In my history class we are talking about apartheid, I do not really understand the reason it started in the first place. Can someone help me? Please and thank you.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Apartheid (Afrikaans: “apartness”) was the name that the party gave to its racial segregation policies, which built upon the country's history of racial segregation between the ruling white minority and the nonwhite majority.

Apartheid was a system of institutionalised racial segregation that existed in South Africa and South West Africa from 1948 until the early 1990s.
