First posted in April 2002, Last revised on June 8th 2011







A country in southern Africa, named after the Namib desert. By the time of the Portuguese discovery inhabited by San (traditionally called Bushmen or Hottentots), Ovambo and Herero, to which in the 19th century immigrants, the Rehoboth Basters and white settlers, were added.
In the 19th century, missionaries from England, Germany and Finland arrived. In 1884 Germany declared the land a protectorate under the name of Deutsch-Südwestafrika (German South West Africa). The Caprivi Strip was acquired in 1890. In 1904-1908, resistance of the Herero and Nama was brutally suppressed. In 1915, during World War I, SWA was occupied by South African troops; in 1920 the League of Nations awarded the country as a mandate to the Union of South Africa.
After World War II, the United Nations (successor to the League of Nations) pushed for Decolonization; the Union of South Africa disregarded UN resolutions and extended her Apartheid policies to South West Africa. SWAPO was founded to campaign for the independence of SWA / Namibia. From the 1970s to 1990s the Namibian war for independence (a guerillas campaign) was fought. In 1990 Namibia gained independence.
