Can this be considered the first genocide of the 20th century? Was it a forecast of the Third Reich?s extermination policy in Central and Eastern Europe? This book provides the answer. Based on extensive archival and library research in Tanzania, Namibia, South Africa, Germany and Poland as well as on the most recent and up-to-date jurisprudence of international criminal tribunals, the renowned historian and political scientist Klaus Bachmann paints a new and surprising picture of the events and their legal significance, which many will find disturbing and provocative. It abolishes many well-established interpretations about German colonialism and its alleged links with the Third Reich and provides a new and intriguing contribution to the current post-colonial debate. 410 0$aGeschichte, Erinnerung, Politik ;$vBand 21.$x2191-3528 606 $aGenocide$zNamibia 606 $aGenocide$zGerman East Africa 607 $aNamibia$xHistory$y1884-1915 607 $aGerman East Africa$xHistory 607 $aGermany$xColonies$zAfrica$xRace relations 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1933-1945 610 $aAfrica 610 $aBachmann 610 $aColonialism 610 $aEdition 610 $aEmpires 610 $aForeign policy 610 $aGenocidal 610 $aGerman 610 $aGerman Empire 610 $aInternational Law 610 $aNamibia 610 $aNational Socialism 610 $aReich 610 $aRevised 610 $aSecond 610 $aTansania 610 $aThird 615 0$aGenocide 615 0$aGenocide 676 $a968.8102 700 $aBachmann$b Klaus$f1963-$01182287 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910619478603321 996 $aGenocidal empires$92961187 997 $aUNINA
