At the time of European contact, The Herero or Herero were nomadic herdsman who lived in Namibia and Botswana. The ethnic was shared by groups surrounding them. Brittan showed a lack of interest in the predominantly desert area of South West Africa and thus was declared a German protectorate in 1884 and named German South West Africa. The mere fact the 'savages' had the audacity to challenge white claims of superiority and lands in 'their colony', enhanced racist attitudes which had always been rife amongst the settler population. This ignited the genocide. The Herero and Namaqua genocide is considered the first genocide of the 20th century.

What are facts about genocide?

Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish-Jewish scholar, 1944, firstly from Latin "gens, gentis" meaning "birth, race, stock, kind" or the Greek root "genos" with the same meaning; secondly from Latin -cidium (cutting, killing) via French -cide.Genocide does not necessarily have to mean killing or massacring by murder or military action. Genocide can come in various forms including: starvation, deplacement, serious bodily or mental harm, lowering quality of life to the point where the culture is unable to sustain itself and grow, imposing measures to prevent birth within the group or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.Some examples of genocide include: transatlantic slave trade, genocide of the Native Americans, the Herero Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, the Great Famine/ Ukrainian Genocide, Rape of Nanking, the Holocaust, Mao Tse-Tung's Cultural Revolution, the Cambodian Genocide, Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Genocide in Darfur.
