In the early 20th century, amidst the backdrop of European imperial ambitions, one of the first genocides of the modern era unfolded in Southwest Africa. The Herero and Namaqua peoples faced brutal oppression under German colonial rule, leading to a desperate rebellion in 1904. In response, General Lothar von Trotha issued a notorious extermination order, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of indigenous people.
