Herenigde Nasionale Party
The Herenigde Nasionale Party () was a political party in South Africa during the 1940s. It was the product of the reunion of Daniel François Malan's Gesuiwerde Nasionale Party () and J.B.M. Hertzog's breakaway Afrikaner nationalist faction of the United Party in 1940. In 1934, Hertzog had fused his National Party with Jan Smuts's South African Party to form the United Party due to pressure from the electorate during the Great Depression. Hertzog split away in 1939, however, because he was a Nazi sympathizer and he could not tolerate the idea of entering World War II on the side of the British. Hertzog briefly led the new party but resigned after Malan and his faction rejected Hertzog's proposed platform of equality between British South Africans and Afrikaners. As a result, Malan became party leader and resumed his position as Leader of the Opposition. The Herenigde Nasionale Party gained popularity after the war and unexpectedly won the elections of 1948 with a majori ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
