The Province of the Cape of Good Hope〔South Africa Act, 1909 §6 (Wikisource)〕 ((アフリカーンス語:Provinsie van die Kaap die Goeie Hoop)), commonly referred to as the Cape Province ((アフリカーンス語:Kaapprovinsie)) was a province in the Union of South Africa and subsequently the Republic of South Africa. It encompassed the old Cape Colony, and had Cape Town as its capital. ==The Union of South Africa: From Cape Colony to Cape Province== When the Union of South Africa was formed in 1910, the original Cape Colony was renamed the Cape Province. It was by far the largest of South Africa's four provinces, as it contained regions it had previously annexed, such as British Bechuanaland (not to be confused with the Bechuanaland Protectorate, now Botswana), Griqualand East (the area around Kokstad) and Griqualand West (area around Kimberley). As a result, it encompassed two-thirds of South Africa's territory, and covered an area similar in size to the U.S. state of Texas. At the time of the formation of the Union of South Africa, the entire region now called South Africa was only four provinces: Transvaal (South African Republic), Natal (Natalia Republic), Orange Free State and the Cape Province. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape Province」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
