Vryheidsoorlog is the Afrikaans term for "War of Freedom".

This originally referred to the two wars fought against the British by the two Boer Republics (see South African War), but has been broadened to be a generral term as well, including references to such wars elsewhere, as well as the South African "Struggle for Freedom" of the 1960-1990 period.
