Abstract
(type = abstract)
The colonial war that occurred in German Southwest Africa between 1904 and 1908 against the indigenous Herero and Nama is widely acknowledged as the first genocide of the twentieth century. Evidence based on statistics, eyewitness accounts, and government documents confirm the genocidal nature of the war. Few historians have examined German and British press reactions to the colonial war. Most scholarship about the Herero and Nama genocide focuses on the history of the genocide on the ground. This thesis focuses on German and British press reactions by studying three vital months in the first year of the war. By looking at the months of January, August, and October 1904, in conservative and liberal publications from both Germany and Great Britain, it is clear that the press in both countries were unaware of the genocide in 1904.
