================================================
- 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.
