In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a lesser-known chapter of the Scramble for Africa: Germany's colonization of South-West Africa, present-day Namibia. They discuss the 1884-85 Berlin Conference's impact on the region, the role of German merchant Adolf Lüderitz, the infamous 'Angra Pequena' incident, and the brutal Herero and Nama wars. The episode also covers the unique geography of the Skeleton Coast, the fate of the Nama people, and the legacy of German colonial rule that still echoes in Namibia's culture and law. #BerlinConference #ScrambleForAfrica #Namibia #GermanColonialism #Herero #Nama #AdolfLüderitz #SkeletonCoast #AngraPequena #SouthWestAfrica #OttoVonBismarck #GeneralAct #ColonialHistory #AfricanHistory #19thCentury #Imperialism #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
