Genocide & Empire: A Namibian Case Study

One key question that has always intrigued me about European history is this: Why, when Europeans came into contact with other people/places in the world, did they almost always conquer (& massacre the indigenous people)? Name any country where they came into contact and you will note a hell on earth for the indigenous people who resided there. In what way did this cycle of barbarity & the tragic undermining & destruction of other people lead to the spiritual death & psychoneurosis of the perpetrators (& their descendents)? This documentary of the near total destruction of the Herero people (the first Holocaust of the 20th century) at the hands of the Germans is but one of many bloody episodes of European contact with indigenous people the world over. It is well worth the time to watch this important presentation for obvious reasons.
