The National Party was a political party in South Africa from 1914 to 1997,  responsible for the implementation of apartheid rule. The party was an Afrikaner nationalist party, which initially promoted the interests of Afrikaners but later became a stalwart promoter and enactor of white supremacy. It first became the governing party of the country in 1924. It merged with its rival, the South African Party (SAP), during the 1929-1939 Great Depression, and a splinter faction, the Re-United National Party became the official opposition during World War II and won power in 1948. With the National Party governing South Africa from 4 June 1948 until 9 May 1994, the country for the bulk of this time was only a de jure or partial democracy, as from 1958 onwards non-white people were barred from voting.
