what month did the Herero and Nama genocide end in 1908?

1 answer

The Herero and Nama genocide is generally considered to have taken place between 1904 and 1908. The violence against the Herero people is often acknowledged to have started in January 1904 and continued until the fall of 1907, while the persecution of the Nama people extended into 1908. Most historians suggest that the genocide effectively ended in 1908, but there is not a specific month universally agreed upon. However, many consider its conclusion to coincide with the formal conclusion of military actions by German colonial forces in the region around mid-1908.
