German Camel Troops in the German Colony of Namibia pre WWI

The Germans were some mighty tough colonist and almost wiped out several Tribes back in those days!

================================================

  • German South West Africa: Germany colonized modern-day Namibia from 1884 to 1915, seizing ancestral lands and cattle from indigenous populations. 

  • The Herero and Nama Genocide: Between 1904 and 1908, German colonial troops systematically killed an estimated 80% of the Ovaherero and 50% of the Nama people (roughly 75,000+ individuals total) through massacres, forced exile into the desert, and imprisonment in concentration camps. [1, 2, 3]

  • First 20th-Century Genocide: Historians now widely view these atrocities as the first genocide of the 20th century.
