From 1904 to 1907 the Hereros and the 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 now ended. But for the Hereros the war was the greatest historical event they ever experienced. It was their Marathon, their Cannae, and their Hiroshima.
