Renaming a Nation: The Story of How South West Africa Became Namibia

In this video, we explore the fascinating history behind the name of Namibia. From its colonial past as "German South West Africa" to its transition under South African administration as a League of Nations mandate, the country has undergone significant changes throughout its history. We delve into the brutal treatment of indigenous people during the period of German rule, including the Herero and Namaqua genocide. However, after gaining independence from South Africa in 1990, the country was renamed "Namibia" to reflect its unique cultural identity and heritage. We also showcase the country's stunning landscapes, diverse cultures, and ongoing wildlife conservation efforts.
