[Lord_nikon]

• 24,000[1] to 100,000[2] Hereros killed

found out about this on the science channel and decided to share,,, I didn't know nothing about this

  The first Holocaust: Horrifying secrets of Germany's earliest genocide inside Africa's 'Forbidden Zone' | Daily Mail Online
  
  
  The Herero and Nama genocide was the first genocide of the 20th century,[4][5][6] waged by the German Empire against the Ovaherero, the Nama, and the San in German South West Africa (now Namibia). It occurred between 1904 and 1908.
  
  In January 1904, the Herero people who were led by Samuel Maharero and Nama who were led by Captain Hendrik Witbooi rebelled against German colonial rule. On January 12, they massacred more than 100 German men in the area of Okahandja, though sparing women and children. In August, German General Lothar von Trotha defeated the Ovaherero in the Battle of Waterberg and drove them into the desert of Omaheke, where most of them died of dehydration. In October, the Nama people also rebelled against the Germans, only to suffer a similar fate.
  
  Between 24,000 and 100,000 Hereros, 10,000 Nama and an unknown number of San died in the genocide.[1][7][8][9][10][11][12] The first phase of the genocide was characterized by widespread death from starvation and dehydration, due to the prevention of the Herero from leaving the Namib Desert by German forces. Once defeated, thousands of Hereros and Namas were imprisoned in concentration camps, where the majority died of diseases, abuse, and exhaustion.[13][14]
  
  In 1985, the United Nations' Whitaker Report classified the aftermath as an attempt to exterminate the Herero and Nama peoples of South West Africa, and therefore one of the earliest attempts at genocide in the 20th century. In 2004, the German government recognized and apologized for the events, but ruled out financial compensation for the victims' descendants.[15] In July 2015, the German government and the speaker of the Bundestag officially called the events a "genocide". However, it has refused to consider reparations.[16][17] Despite this, the last batch of skulls and other remains of slaughtered tribesman which were taken to Germany to promote racial superiority were taken back to Namibia in 2018, with Petra Bosse-Huber, a German Protestant bishop, describing the event as "the first genocide of the 20th century".[18][19]

You're hearing this for the first time because of the control that the descendants of the 30s to 40s holocaust in Germany and Poland have on academia, book industry, and film/tv industries in America.

Instead of using their platforms to inform people of the multiple ethnic holocausts of the 19th and 20th centuries, they just care about theirs.

These Western countries should be giving education, technology, manufacturing and mining training for free for the next 500 years. As well as relinquishing all claims to any in, on, or related to the Continent.

Yeah, a lot of the activity of the Second Reich, including the genocides in Namibia, were the seeds that would later become the Nazis and the Third Reich. The Holocaust wasn’t some one off thing. Whites were heavily into racial pseudosciences and genocide through the 19th and early 20th century.

if you have the internet and can read, there's nothing stopping people from learning about the world.

True indeed, though I remember singing Hanukkah songs as part of school curriculum in the 3rd grade. Certain that I learned about the holocaust from 1930s to 40s that took place in Europe before the 6th grade, again as part of the school curriculum.

You just have to make sure the sources are legit. It is the internet after all.

Lol dream on. Africans will have to outsmart them at their own game and compete like everyone else. They are never going to give their power away willingly and none of us should count on start, we need to outsmart them with wit.

It’s not a competition especially when Africans are concerned. The point is Africans all over suffered tremendously. The fact that we have any empathy for these people is beyond me.

Yea that’s why schools never tell the full history of Africa

I still don’t get how South Africa ended up how it is

 

[Fillerguy]

This. In 6th grade we had to read the "Diary of Anne Frank" in my English class, we also read "Number the Stars" as well. When I think about it, I think we had a whole semester dedicated to the Holocaust.. I also had a couple holocaust projects to do as well. Africa wasn't even mentioned.

Long story short, the Dutch settled Cape Town as a "pit stop" in 1652 for their sailors looking to reach Asia by sailing around the coast of Southern Africa. Cape Town was just meant to be a refreshment station for the Dutch India Company's fleet. However, the early settlers saw the land was good for agriculutre and the weather was favourable so they decided to stay. To work their land, they (the Afrikaaners, the white population descending from the early Dutch settlers) enslaved some of the native Africans there (particularly the San), but not all of the African nations would play ball e.g Zulus would go to war with them. It's worth nothing that some of the enslaved Africans functioned as both labour and concubines for the Afrikaaners, hence the "Coloured" population in South Africa e.g. the Trevor Noah types that we'd call mixed/biracial in the US.

The Afrikaaners then brought indentured servants from India and the Malay region, hence the Indians in South Africa. Fast forward to the mid-1800s when Gold and Diamonds where found in central South Africa. News got back to Europe and there was a huge influx of White Europeans looking to make money. Mainly Brits, French and Germans. Capital from Britain was a driving force in the development of Johannesburg and the surrounding area as the Afrikaaners were more so pastoral. The UK brought industrialization and the economic development that came with it.

The Afrikaaners, however, wanted their own separate nation(s) and didn't take too kindly to the British influence due to their capital. The Afrikaaners and the Brits fought two wars, the first the Afrikaaners won, the 2nd the Brits won. In 1910(?) Britain united various territories and states in Southern Africa into the Union of South Africa which also administered what is present day Namibia.

Since there was a strong white population then, Europe and the developed world would still trade with South Africa and poured capital into the country. South Africa had a robust mining industry in addition to agriculture and light manufacturing. In the 1960s the Afrikaaner national party came into power and began the policy of aparthied. The rest is history.

I glossed over some stuff but that's main the gist of it.

South Africa is definitely an interesting case in Africa. It was one of the few African nations to actually have a sizable white settler colony (the weather played a part in this, South Africa has temperate, mild weather compared with the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa that's rather hot and humid)

I'd advise this book if you're interested on the subject. I read it before I took my trip there and it was pretty enlightening. A good history book but written like a novel so it's easy to read.

Yes, the Anne Frank / holocaut lessons, usually taught in American History classes when WW2 is discussed.
One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing Black people say words that they aren't aware that they are repeating from other people.
When Hitler's name comes up, usually due to a celeb quoting or speaking favorably of him, you can set your watch and wait for the "Hitler was the most evil man ever" comments to surface from (allegedly) BLACK PEOPLE.

Black people who are either the decsendants of enslaved people and carry a Euro last name (like I do), or who are from former colonized areas (where murders,atrocities, ne0-slavery and exploitation occured) with a straight face repeat the lines that only a holocaust survivor would say. "Hitler was the most evil man ever"
HOW?
