Explanation:

• Question 3:
• The Anglo - Boer War was fought between the British Empire and the two Boer republics (the South African Republic and the Orange Free State). Both the British and the Boers (of Dutch - Afrikaner descent) were white regimes. This was a unique aspect compared to other anticolonial wars in Africa where the main combatants were typically native African populations against European colonizers.
• Marxist anticolonial struggles were more prominent in later periods, especially after the spread of Marxist ideology more widely. The Anglo - Boer War was not a Marxist - led struggle.
• Many African anticolonial wars did not result in autonomy before World War II. For example, the Maji - Maji Rebellion in German East Africa was brutally suppressed.
• Anticolonial wars generally made Europeans more defensive about their colonial holdings rather than increasing investment in a positive sense. The Anglo - Boer War was costly for the British, but it was more about maintaining control rather than a new wave of investment in colonialism in the way the option suggests.
• Question 4:
• The Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1920) had a significant impact on land reform. The creation of communal landholdings (ejidos) for Mexican peasants was a long - lasting legacy. These ejidos provided a form of land tenure that aimed to address the unequal distribution of land in Mexico.
• The revolution was more about the rights of the common people (including peasants, workers) rather than glorifying the creole elite. In fact, the creole elite was often a target of the revolutionary forces.
• While there were ideological aspects to the revolution, the appeals were more broad - based (including to peasants and workers) rather than specifically and enduringly to the middle class.
• The Mexican Revolution was a movement that aimed to break down racial and class hierarchies. Emphasizing racial hierarchy preservation is the opposite of what the revolution stood for.

Answer:

• Question 3: It was the only anticolonial war in which two white regimes were the main combatants.
• Question 4: The creation of communal landholdings for Mexican peasants.
