Funfact: the sun's serrates which represent the tribes in Namibia,for example: Nama, Damara, Herero, Ovambo, Afrikaner (descendents of the British, German and Dutch settlers), Himba, San and the Baster (descendents from both natives and european Afrikaners)
One correction. The Damara aren't Bantu and we don't speak a Bantu language. It's actually still unknown where we come from, our oral history says we migrated from the forests up north, my theory is that we were the natives of the Congo that were driven out during the very first wavea of Bantu migration from West Africa
Broer aren't damaras a mix of the bantus from up north and the namas and khoisan that were already in Namibia? Atleast that's the best assumption I can get
Nama /Herero were the largest inNamibia Germany finished now Nama and Herero people are just in thousands Today our population the whole country is just 2.5 million, Germany should pay.. If it wasn’t fr Germany our nations population could be far more than that.., Today Namibia is one of the most densely populated just second to Mongolia.., Because of Germany they really finished us
They actually are, if I do recall my 8th-grade history classes well, they integrated with the Nama people and adopted their language/ culture and lost their language and culture in the process. However, you will still see a slight difference in their dress code.
@@hadley7744 namas are the ones that lost their language. They even lost their last names that’s why you won’t find a Nama with a African last name. They use European last names. And Damaras are clearly not Bantu
You forgot the greatest tribe in namibia the Basters the very people that the Germans and South Africa are afraid of till this very day they shoot the hardest talk the hardest (except for the damaras and namas) and drink the hardest (except for the damaras and namas)
@@ladysison1269 I know, I just tried to make it easier for others 'cause the amount of times someone butcherd it neh... no 'cause imagine an English man trying to pronounce "Aawambo"...😂😂😂😂 and I'm gessing your'e also one 'cause who else would know how to pronounce it corectly if not us😊
Even though this is supposed to be a quick video about Namibia's history, and one cannot possibly summarise all of Namibia's history in 2 minutes, I'm still left quite disappointed. There's so much more to Namibia's history than the arrival of Europeans. The title should be "European History of Namibia"
Who knew intertribal conflicts can turn gruesome when guns are involved? Goes to show that the pistol is mightier than the bow. Next is the little Pacific island with surprisingly strong weightlifters… Nauru! 🇳🇷
I would to ask You to say "Western European" powers from now on. Eastern Europe [with the exception of Russia] was also very much enslaved at the time.
I was born in Namibia and still live here. This is a great place for tourists sure (except that it's unsafe as Hell here. Bloody unsafe) if you live here though it's horrible. My God is it horrible. People I play games with in other parts of the world starting making jokes because we play a game called "who can escape Namibia first" no one wants to live here. Economy, trash. People, trash. Safety, trash. Government, horrible curropt trash. And it's only getting worse and worse by the day. Please, if anyone notices this. Never move here. If you can spare it, travel to a different country for your own safety to.
💀Yoh I've never seen such a an over exaggerated statement before. Accourding to the 2021 Global Peace Index Report, Namibia is ranked the 10th safest country in Africa and we are ranked 65th globally, just above Greece. I was born and raised here as well. You're speaking about our country as if it's our neighbour South Africa, who by the way is ranked 123rd , just below North America. I don't know what you've experienced but please do not deter people from our beautiful country because of it. It is not perfect and crime does happen but it's definitely not as horrible as you're making it seem.

@@divanmanuel8800 Is it? Didn't they do a genetic study distinguishing Damaras from everyone or did I miss something?
@@ricaard6959 aht broer , there i dont know
They did ancestral DNA tests damaras are mostly, closely related to West Africans...
@@mixedgirlsss2692 Can I get your source for that, that's interesting...
"a curious mix of guns and the Bible" as someone from the Bible belt I'm glad we're not the only ones out there.
Not all is true, the true history is a bit different
The way he said Damara
Yeah all things you’ve said about my country are true thanks dude come visit you won’t regret..
Can you do history of nauru 🇳🇷
Proud Namibian
Short and sweet 😌
Thx for taking about my country
Ich liebe Namibia
Namibia is my coutnry❤
My country 😭❤
Hello, Mr History. What historical sources do you use to make these videos?
Namibia sounds so exotic :-?
Great documentary - Didn’t know that Germany paid reparations and Namibia gained their independence in 1990.
Namibia didn’t accept the payment, they offered it for Nama / Herero genocide
Nama /Herero were the largest inNamibia Germany finished now Nama and Herero people are just in thousands
Today our population the whole country is just 2.5 million, Germany should pay..
If it wasn’t fr Germany our nations population could be far more than that..,
Today Namibia is one of the most densely populated just second to Mongolia.., Because of Germany they really finished us
@@tresiatyange1311 That's about the dumbest thing they could do, but thanks for clarifying
Damaras don’t speak Bantu. It’s the oshiwambo
Deep chats my country colonised wtf
I’m Namibian
I live there
Alles gut, geniessen
Bro just repeated my history exam
bro the climate over here is bipolar af
Damara and Bantu in the same sentence? Please go do proper research sir, Damara people are NOT Bantu speaking 🙄

Damara's are bantu. they speak Nama because they lost their language a lot time ago
@@hadley7744 namas are the ones that lost their language. They even lost their last names that’s why you won’t find a Nama with a African last name. They use European last names. And Damaras are clearly not Bantu
@@lemonslice1733 i think you're confusing Nama's with Coloureds. just do your research. Damara's are bantu
@@hadley7744 My dads a Nama; my moms a Damara. I think you are the confused one
You forgot the greatest tribe in namibia the Basters the very people that the Germans and South Africa are afraid of till this very day they shoot the hardest talk the hardest (except for the damaras and namas) and drink the hardest (except for the damaras and namas)
Damara people are not Bantu-speaking
they are not bantu speaking because they lost their language a long time ago but they are bantu.
Damara are not bantu speakers
Trutha and Botha
Do Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 👍🏾
Niceeee
Love Damaras don't speak bantu, it's the Wambos ( vamboos, that's how you pronounce it)
it’s actually pronounced Aawambo not vamboos.

The real gruesome ones were the colonisers who committed genocide and were the reason for their conflicts.
The intertribal conflicts were instigated by the colonizers, you know, "divide and conquer".
Lol, Namibian here not accurate, read a history book please
im namibian
I would to ask You to say "Western European" powers from now on. Eastern Europe [with the exception of Russia] was also very much enslaved at the time.
You kinda said Damara and Apartheid wrong but i guess it's kinda difficult because its Afrikaans so you get a pass on that 😅
Buh bye!
NOT ACCURATE!!!!!!!!!!

Over exaggerated BS!
What a load of BS. You must be a very sad person to speak about your country like this...
You are a liar-sincerely a foreigner living in this beautiful country.
yoh...where in Namibia do you live?🙂
