During	  the	  apartheid	  era,	  the	  creators,	  enforcers,	  and	  supporters	  of apartheid	  withstood	  decades	  of	  international	  and	  internal	  pressure	  to	  uphold their	  oppressive	  system	  of	  government.	  	  This	  thesis	  proposes	  a	  new	  perspective on	  what	  drove	  the	  creation	  of	  apartheid	  in	  the	  first	  place,	  one	  that	  examines	  how the	  creators’	  perspectives	  on	  their	  own	  experiences	  of	  suffering	  and	  oppression impacted	  the	  creation	  of	  a	  system	  that	  did	  the	  same	  to	  others.	  	  The	  purpose	  is	  to show	  that	  the	  primary	  motivation	  for	  the	  creation	  of	  apartheid	  was	  the	  creators’ concern	  for	  the	  preservation	  of	  their	  own	  nation	  of	  people,	  the	  Afrikaners,	  which was	  rooted	  in	  an	  evolving	  Christian	  framework	  for	  rationalizing	  the	  suffering and	  oppression	  that	  the	  Afrikaners	  felt	  they	  had	  experienced	  throughout	  their history. In	  order	  to	  show	  this,	  the	  thesis	  traces	  the	  historical	  record	  from	  the founding	  of	  the	  first	  European	  colony	  in	  South	  Africa	  through	  the	  creation	  of apartheid.	  	  It	  begins	  by	  examining	  the	  idea	  of	  the	  Afrikaners	  as	  God’s	  chosen people.	  	  Then,	  it	  shows	  how	  this	  idea	  combined	  with	  defeat	  in	  a	  war	  to	  create	  the belief	  that	  the	  Afrikaners	  suffered	  because	  God	  loved	  them.	  	  This	  belief	  became popular	  and	  evolved	  over	  time	  as	  the	  power	  of	  the	  Afrikaner	  nationalists	  grew. Eventually,	  they	  believed	  that,	  because	  God	  loved	  them	  and	  wanted	  the Afrikaner	  nation	  to	  be	  formed	  and	  survive,	  it	  was	  the	  duty	  of	  the	  Afrikaners,	  as Christians,	  to	  work	  towards	  their	  own	  self-­‐preservation.	  	  This	  became	  the primary	  motivation	  for	  the	  creation	  of	  apartheid.	  	  Significantly,	  this	  narrative gives	  both	  a	  new	  approach	  and	  a	  new	  answer	  to	  the	  field	  of	  scholarship	  that examines	  the	  question	  of	  why	  apartheid	  was	  ever	  created.
