Who was Namibia seized from Germany by?
Namibia was a German colony. It was seized by South Africa during World War II. South Africa did not relinquish control until 1990. By 1960, a Soviet backed Communist guerrilla army (SWAMPO) was fighting the South African troops in Namibia. World opinion was against South Africa, which had set up a White dominated government in their "territory." Repeated peace talks and United Nations threats did nothing. South Africa argued, with much truth, that freeing the territory would result in a hostile Communist government. Moreover, there were 55,000 Cuban troops in Angola, north of Namibia, which might be used to insure a communist victory. The end of the Cold War finally ended the deadlock. The Cuban troops left, the Communist guerrillas lost their Soviet support, and the South African government got out of the expensive conflict. The head of SWAMPO was elected president, but he does not have support in the legislature to create a Communist government.
