HERERO WARS

The Herero Wars were a series of campaigns from 1904 to 1908 waged by German colonialists against the Herero people in German south-west Africa. A Herero rebellion resulted in the near- extermination of the population by the Germans, their numbers falling from over 100,000 to 15,000. The survivors were resettled in the inhospitable desert land of contemporary Hereroland in Namibia.
