The Siege of Lydenburg was a siege carried out by the Boer Republic of Transvaal on Lydenburg, modern day South Africa, between January and March 1881 during the First Boer War. Despite fierce British resistance, the town fell to the Boers following British defeat during the First Boer War. The siege lasted 84 days.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sahistory.org.za/south-africa-1806-1899/first-anglo-boer-war-1880-1881 )〕
