Namibia Introduction

Background: South Africa occupied the German colony of Sud-West
Afrika during World War I and administered it as a mandate until
after World War II when it annexed the territory. In 1966 the
Marxist South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) guerrilla
group launched a war of independence for the area that was soon
named Namibia, but it was not until 1988 that South Africa agreed to
end its administration in accordance with a UN peace plan for the
entire region. Independence came in 1990.
