Czy wojna w Południowej Afryce, 1899-1902 była konfliktem asymetrycznym?
Was the South African War (1899–1902) an asymmetric conflict?

Summary/Abstract: The Boer War seems to be a classic example of an asymmetric conflict, mainly because of the difference in the potential of the two sides. It is worth considering, however, if it can really be classified as such. If we thoroughly analyze the events and development of the conflict, especially its first stage, it will turn out that it is hard to speak of an asymmetric conflict in this case. The Boer War adopted characteristics of an asymmetric conflict with time, with its peak in the autumn of 1900, when the Boers finally started using typical guerilla tactics.
