Abstract
In this article, dealing with Second Boer War (11 October 1899-31 May 1902), Karl Kautsky argued that two forces arose out of decline of Man-chesterism (liberalism) in England: and imperialism. He pointed out that imperialism was making even more rapid progress than socialism and was becoming the primary means of arresting development of latter. It should be emphasised, though, that Kautsky still understood imperialism in its then-current meaning as the creation of a Greater Britain, a huge world empire surrounded by protectionist tariffs, which offered prospect, although temporary at best, of improving economic conditions for workers. Keywords:imperialism; Karl Kautsky; Second Boer War; socialism; South Africa
