Herero Wars
The Herero Wars were a series of colonial wars between the German Empire and the Herero people of German South-West Africa (present-day Namibia).
==Background==
The Hereros were cattle grazers, occupying most of central and northern South-West Africa.
During the Scramble for Africa, South-West Africa was claimed by Germany in August 1884. At that time, it was the only overseas German territory deemed suitable for white settlement. German colonists arriving in the following years occupied large areas of land, ignoring any claims by the Herero and other natives. There was continual resistance by the natives.
A sort of peace was worked out in 1894. In that year Theodor Leutwein became Governor of the colony, and beginning a period of rapid development. White settlers were further encouraged, took more land from the natives, and caused a great deal of discontent.
