The outbreak of hostilities in Europe in August 1914 had been anticipated and government officials of South Africa were aware of the significance of their common border with the German colony. Prime Minister Louis Botha informed London that South Africa could defend itself and that the Imperial Garrison might depart for France; when the British government asked Botha whether his forces would invade German South-West Africa, the reply was that they could and would.
South African troops were mobilised along the border between the two countries under the command of General Henry Lukin and Lt Col Manie Maritz early in September 1914. Shortly afterwards another force occupied the port of Lüderitz.
Boer Revolt
There was considerable sympathy among the Boer population of South Africa for the German cause. Only twelve years had passed since the end of the Second Boer War, in which Germany had offered the two Boer republics moral support against the British Empire. Lieutenant-Colonel Manie Maritz, heading commando forces on the border of German South-West Africa, declared that
South-West Africa (Afrikaans: Suidwes-Afrika; Dutch: Zuidwest-Afrika; German: Südwestafrika) was the name for modern-day Namibia when it was ruled by the German Empire and later South Africa.

In Treue fest, Südwest!
Südwestafrika (Afrikaans: Suidwes Afrika; Englisch: Southwest Africa) war die Bezeichnung Namibias während seiner Verwaltung durch Südafrika in den Jahren 1918 bis 1990.
Zeitlich wurde diese Periode der Republik Namibia gefasst durch das Ende der reichsdeutschen Kolonie Deutsch-Südwestafrika (18841918) und die staatliche "Unabhängigkeit" des Landes (seit 1990).
Die ehemalige deutsche Kolonie wurde 1919 ein Mandatsgebiet des Völkerbundes und unter Verwaltung der Südafrikanischen Union gestellt. 1946 wurde das Gebiet offiziell in ein Treuhandgebiet der UNO umgewandelt, was den Einfluss der Weltorganisation erhöht hätte, dieser Schritt wurde jedoch von südafrikanischer Seite ignoriert, die darauf begann, das Territorium de facto als Teil ihres Staatsgebietes einzugliedern. So bekam die weiße Minderheit das Recht, eigene Vertreter in das Kapstädter Parlament zu entsenden.
Die UNO entzog 1966 der Republik Südafrika das Mandat über Südwestafrika und stellte es zwei Jahre später unter dem Namen Namibia de jure unter eigene Verwaltung. Nachdem der Internationale Gerichtshof 1971 die fortdauernde südafrikanische Präsenz als unrechtmäßig verurteilte, begann ab Mitte der 70er Jahre unter starkem internationalen Druck ein Transitionsprozess, der schließlich 1990 zur Unabhängigkeit der Republik Namibia führte.
Die Verwendung der Begriffe Südwestafrika oder Südwest wird im heutigen Namibia nach wie vor geschätzt. Sie werden aber auch, besonders von im Ausland lebenden unkundigen Zeitgenossen, als Zeichen für einen nostalgischen Umgang mit der deutschen Kolonialzeit sowie der Zeit der Apartheid gedeutet.
Suidwes-Afrika is 'n land in suidwestelike Afrika, aan die Atlantiese kus. Dit word deur Angola en Zambië in die noorde, Botswana in die weste, en Suid-Afrika in die suide begrens.
Suidwes-Afrika was van die laat 19de eeu tot by die Eerste Wêreldoorlog 'n Duitse kolonie en is daarna deur Suid-Afrika geadministreer. "Onafhanklikheid" was in 1990, wat Namibië een van die jongste nasies ter wêreld maak.
Die amptelike taal is Engels, maar omtrent 60 persent van die bevolking kan Afrikaans praat. Die Namibiese staat erken alle tale, alhoewel net Engels ampstaalstatus het. Duits is naas Afrikaans die mees gebruiklike taal in Suid- en Sentraal-Namibië, met tussen 20 000 en 30 000 moedertaalsprekers en enkele honderdduisend mense wat dit as tweede taal kan praat. Duits speel nog steeds 'n belangrike rol in die Namibiese ekonomie en toerisme. Ook die topografie van Namibië word deur baie Duitse plek- en straatname gekenmerk.
South-West Africa (Afrikaans: Suidwes-Afrika; German: Südwestafrika) was the name that was used for the modern day Republic of Namibia during the earlier eras when the territory was controlled by the German Empire and later by South Africa.
As a German colony from 1884 it was known as German South-West Africa (Deutsch-Südwestafrika). Germany had a difficult time administering the territory, which, owing to the Germans' native policy, experienced many insurrections, especially those led by guerilla leader Jacob Morenga. The main port, Walvis Bay, and the Penguin islands had been annexed by Britain as part of the Cape Colony in 1878, and became part of the Union of South Africa in 1910.
During 1915 the region was taken from German control in the South-West Africa Campaign of World War I. After the war it was declared a League of Nations Mandate territory under the Treaty of Versailles, with South Africa responsible for the administration of South-West Africa, including Walvis Bay.
In 1966, the General Assembly passed resolution 2145 (XXI) which declared the Mandate terminated and that South Africa had no further right to administer South-West Africa. In 1971, acting on a request for advisory opinion from the United Nations Security Council, the ICJ ruled that the continued presence of South Africa in Namibia was illegal and that South Africa was under an obligation to withdraw from Namibia immediately. It also ruled that all member states of the United Nations were under an obligation to recognize the invalidity of any act performed by South Africa on behalf of Namibia.
South-West Africa became known internationally as Namibia when the UN General Assembly changed the territory's name by Resolution 2372 (XXII) of 12 June 1968.
There was a protracted struggle between South Africa and forces fighting for independence, particularly after the formation of the South-West Africa People's Organisation in 1960, communist backed terrorists.
The territory became the independent Republic of Namibia on 21 March 1990, with Walvis Bay only becoming part of Namibia in 1994.

Duits is naas Afrikaans die mees gebruiklike taal in Suid- en Sentraal-Namibië, met tussen 20 000 en 30 000 moedertaalsprekers en enkele honderdduisend mense wat dit as tweede taal kan praat. Duits speel nog steeds 'n belangrike rol in die Namibiese ekonomie en toerisme. Ook die topografie van Namibië word deur baie Duitse plek- en straatname gekenmerk.
South-West Africa (Afrikaans: Suidwes-Afrika; German: Südwestafrika) was the name that was used for the modern day Republic of Namibia during the earlier eras when the territory was controlled by the German Empire and later by South Africa.
As a German colony from 1884 it was known as German South-West Africa (Deutsch-Südwestafrika). Germany had a difficult time administering the territory, which, owing to the Germans' native policy, experienced many insurrections, especially those led by guerilla leader Jacob Morenga. The main port, Walvis Bay, and the Penguin islands had been annexed by Britain as part of the Cape Colony in 1878, and became part of the Union of South Africa in 1910.
During 1915 the region was taken from German control in the South-West Africa Campaign of World War I. After the war it was declared a League of Nations Mandate territory under the Treaty of Versailles, with South Africa responsible for the administration of South-West Africa, including Walvis Bay.
In 1966, the General Assembly passed resolution 2145 (XXI) which declared the Mandate terminated and that South Africa had no further right to administer South-West Africa. In 1971, acting on a request for advisory opinion from the United Nations Security Council, the ICJ ruled that the continued presence of South Africa in Namibia was illegal and that South Africa was under an obligation to withdraw from Namibia immediately. It also ruled that all member states of the United Nations were under an obligation to recognize the invalidity of any act performed by South Africa on behalf of Namibia.
South-West Africa became known internationally as Namibia when the UN General Assembly changed the territory's name by Resolution 2372 (XXII) of 12 June 1968.
There was a protracted struggle between South Africa and forces fighting for independence, particularly after the formation of the South-West Africa People's Organisation in 1960, communist backed terrorists.
The territory became the independent Republic of Namibia on 21 March 1990, with Walvis Bay only becoming part of Namibia in 1994.
From 1966 to 1990 a vicious war was raging in southern Africa. Called the South African Border War by some and the Namibian War for Independence by others, this 23-year long conflict has been largely forgotten by the rest of the world.

The outbreak of hostilities in Europe in August 1914 had been anticipated and government officials of South Africa were aware of the significance of their common border with the German colony. Prime Minister Louis Botha informed London that South Africa could defend itself and that the Imperial Garrison might depart for France; when the British government asked Botha whether his forces would invade German South-West Africa, the reply was that they could and would.
South African troops were mobilised along the border between the two countries under the command of General Henry Lukin and Lt Col Manie Maritz early in September 1914. Shortly afterwards another force occupied the port of Lüderitz.
Boer Revolt
There was considerable sympathy among the Boer population of South Africa for the German cause. Only twelve years had passed since the end of the Second Boer War, in which Germany had offered the two Boer republics moral support against the British Empire. Lieutenant-Colonel Manie Maritz, heading commando forces on the border of German South-West Africa, declared that
Once I was anothers lover Now I am my own Trying to call myself a brother Living here alone Maybe if you came to see me Wishing I wasn't so blind Sitting here thinking to be free Maybe we'd all change our mind She is kind and beautiful I am young and strong We have never met each other But it can't be long Oft' I have slept by her window Often I whisper her name And wonder that words in the wind blow
