Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom, (also spelled ''Strydom'') commonly called JG Strydom or Hans Strydom (14 July 1893 – 24 August 1958),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom )〕 nicknamed ''the Lion of the North'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Johannes G Strijdom )〕 was Prime Minister of South Africa from 30 November 1954 to 24 August 1958.〔name=BOE_JG_Strijdom /> He was an uncompromising Afrikaner nationalist,〔 and a proponent of segregation that led the way to the establishment of the system of Apartheid. ==Early life== He was born on the family farm Klipfontein near Willowmore in Cape Colony and trained as a lawyer at Victoria College (which later became the University of Stellenbosch) and the University of Pretoria.〔http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/569087/Johannes-Gerhardus-Strijdom Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom Retrieved 16 June 2010〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Historical Notes: A University in the Making )〕 Strijdom served in the German South West Africa campaign in World War I, as a member of the South African Medical Corps and, later, of Helgaardt's Scouts, where he reached the rank of corporal.〔Von Zeil, G. 'A South African Prime Minister's Medal' in ''Journal of the Military Medal Society of South Africa'' No 42 (August 2003).〕 Strijdom later settled in Nylstroom, Transvaal. He identified strongly with this area and its people and became a local community leader among the Afrikaners. In 1929, Strijdom was elected to the House of Assembly as MP for Waterberg, representing the National Party (NP) headed by General J.B.M. Hertzog. Strijdom was also leader of the NP in Transvaal, by far the most important province of South Africa, and as such had a strong power base. After the National Party of J.B.M. Hertzog〔 〕 merged with the South African Party of General Jan Smuts〔 and formed the United Party (UP) during the World Economic Crisis in 1932,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=United Party (UP) (political party, South Africa) )〕 Strijdom was part of the break-away faction of the National Party,〔 named the ''Gesuiwerde Nasionale Party'' (Purified National Party).〔 〕 Later, after the United Party was formed, the GNP became known as the (Reunited) National Party〔 under the leadership of Dr. D. F. Malan. Malan, Strijdom and their followers distrusted Smuts and opposed his pro-British policy.〔 〕 Most of the National Party's MPs stayed with Hertzog, and as Strijdom was loyal to Malan, he was the only MP from Transvaal to support Malan's ideals.〔 Strijdom favoured the establishment of a republic,〔 but this was not achieved until 1961.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Development & Formation of the South African Republic )〕 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「Johannes Gerhardus Strijdom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
