Gold was discovered during the presidency of Paul Kruger. This led to a huge influx of foreigners that disrupted the mainly agricultural lifestyle of the boer republic. Ultimately Britain decided to go to war with the two small republics. At this stage Paul Kruger was an old man and his cabinet decided that he should leave for Europe to seek support for their cause. Although he found a lot of sympathy, it did not materialize in actual support.
