Old name of Namibia?

Namibia used to be known as South West Africa. Being a neighbour of South Africa, and having shared a long history of oppression under the minority white rule of the racist apartheid South African regime, Namibia was known as South West Africa - first, because of its geographic location and secondly because the apartheid regime wanted to incorporate Namibia as the South Western Province of South Africa - making her an intergral part of South Africa. Thus, Namibia remained known as South West Africa till she attained her independence on 21st Of March 1990.
