What was popularly known as the Boer War?

  1. The French and Indian War

  2. The South African War (1899-1902)

  3. The English Civil War

  4. World War I

The correct answer is: The South African War (1899-1902)

The Boer War was a conflict between the British Empire and the South African Republic and Orange Free State, which took place from 1899 to 1902. Option B, the South African War, is the only choice that aligns with the time period and the regions involved. Options A, C, and D all refer to wars that occurred in different time periods or locations and are therefore incorrect.
