The correct answer is: There was no motivation; the British grew tired of war.

British restrictions had been placed on the Northern expansion of the Boers in an effort to placate the native African population who were at this time resisting any European expansion. The Boers resisted and defied British rule and continued their Northern expansion. The power struggle evolved and progressed until serious hostilities eupted. The war was caused by British greed (Transvaal goldfields), the refusal of the Boer Republics to grant immigrants citizenship, the continuous improvement of relations between the republics and Germany.
