The government entered the Second Boer War with great confidence, little expecting that the two small rural Boer republics in southern Africa with a combined White population smaller than that of London would hold off the concentrated power of the British Empire for two and half years and take 400,000 Imperial troops to secure victory. [26] The war split the Liberal Party into anti- and pro-war factions. Great orators, such as Liberal David Lloyd George, who spoke against the war, became increasingly influential.

The subsequent reigns of GeorgeV and GeorgeVI are not commonly termed Georgian era, this name being reserved for the time of the 18th-century kings of that name.
