<ref>"Namibia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namibia, accessed August 2021.</ref> | *In 1878, the Cape of Good Hope, then a British colony, '''annexed the port of Walvis Bay and the offshore Penguin Islands'''; these became an integral part of the new Union of South Africa at its creation in 1910. | ||
*In 1884 the '''German Empire''' established rule over most of the territory, '''forming a colony known as German South West Africa'''. It developed farming and infrastructure. | |||
*German rule ended in 1915 with a '''defeat by South African forces'''. | |||
*In 1920, after the end of World War I, '''the League of Nations mandated administration of the colony to South Africa'''. As Mandatory power, South Africa imposed its laws, including racial classifications and rules. From 1948, with the National Party elected to power, this included South Africa applying apartheid to what was then known as '''South West Africa.''' | |||
*In the later 20th century, uprisings and demands for political representation by native African political activists seeking independence resulted in the UN assuming direct responsibility over the territory in 1966, but South Africa maintained de facto rule. | |||
*In 1973 '''the UN recognized the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) as the official representative of the Namibian people'''. | |||
*Following continued guerrilla warfare, '''South Africa installed an interim administration in Namibia in 1985'''. | |||
*Namibia obtained full independence from South Africa in 1990. '''However, Walvis Bay and the Penguin Islands remained under South African control until 1994.'''<ref>"Namibia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namibia, accessed August 2021.</ref> | |||
