Summary
From 1904 to 1907 the Hereros and Hottentots in German South West Africa fought a heroic but futile battle against their German masters. From the standpoint of the Germans the war was not important. It was an incident , and no more, in an Imperial venture that ended. But for the Hereros, the war was the greatest historical event they ever experienced. Despite the Hereros losing the war and their ultimate exploitation and subjucation, they looked at it as their finest hour.
