Namibia resisted German colonial rule primarily due to the oppressive policies and violent tactics employed by the Germans, which included land expropriation and forced labor. The indigenous groups, such as the Herero and Nama, sought to protect their sovereignty, land, and way of life. The brutal response from the Germans, culminating in events like the Herero and Namaqua genocide, further fueled resistance and resentment against colonial domination. This struggle was rooted in a desire for self-determination and preservation of cultural identity.

What were the effects of the German rule in Namibia up to 1918?
The German rule in Namibia, from 1884 until 1918, had profound and often devastating effects on the indigenous populations. Colonial policies led to the dispossession of land, forced labor, and violent suppression of resistance, culminating in the Herero and Namaqua genocide between 1904 and 1908, which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands. The Germans implemented a rigid racial hierarchy and exploited natural resources, which disrupted traditional lifestyles and social structures. Overall, the legacy of German colonialism in Namibia is marked by deep social and economic ramifications that persist to this day.
