Incensed by German settlers stealing their land and cattle and taking their women, the Herero people launched a revolt in January 1904 with warriors butchering 123 German civilians over several days. The Nama tribe joined the uprising in 1905.

When you go "game on" - you better be prepared to play the game.

This is not nearly as well known as it ought to be. Basically, a dress rehearsal for the Holocaust.

Sometimes people tend to go into areas they shouldn’t. There are people in this world who like being with their own, and are not appreciative of being over come by greedy outsiders. Sounds racist, but most people are happier being amongst their own kind and being left alone to decide their own destiny. From the looks of things it sounds like the Germans may owe more reparations??

The Germans were brutes. Must have been all the philosophy they read. Philosophers were kinda like rock stars to them.

It was pretty bad. However, Namibia today has largely moved past that and is home to many Germans both native and people that have moved there from Germany (about 2% of the population). They have many prominent positions in industry, and I recall that one was mayor of Windhoek, or might be still.
