Answer 1

In the early 1900s, European settlers in South Africa created **a system of segregation that split society**. This system became more formally entrenched with the implementation of apartheid in 1948, but the roots of segregationist policies can be traced back to earlier practices and legislation that marginalized non-European populations in various ways.
