Here are details on two major resistance movements against German rule:

1. Maji Maji Rebellion (German East Africa)

   • Tribes that resisted: This was a widespread uprising involving numerous ethnic groups across German East Africa, including the Matumbi, Ngindo, Pogoro, Ngoni, Zaramo, and Luguru.
   • Reason for resisting: The primary reasons were the harsh German colonial policies, which included forced labor (especially for cotton cultivation), heavy taxation, and the disruption of traditional social structures. A spiritual leader, Kinjikitile Ngwale, united many groups by promising that a sacred water ("Maji Maji") would turn German bullets into water.
   • Consequences of resisting: The rebellion was brutally suppressed by German forces between 1905 and 1907. German scorched-earth tactics led to widespread famine, resulting in an estimated 250,000 to 300,000 African deaths. While militarily defeated, the rebellion led to some reforms in German colonial administration, making it slightly less brutal in the long term.
   • Governor during the resistance: The rebellion occurred during the rule of Governor Count Gustav Adolf von Götzen (1901-1906).

2. Herero and Namaqua Genocide (German South West Africa)

   • Tribes that resisted: The Herero people initiated the uprising, followed later by the Namaqua (Khoikhoi) people.
   • Reason for resisting: Resistance stemmed from systematic German land expropriation, cattle confiscation, forced labor, racial discrimination, and the erosion of traditional Herero and Namaqua authority. The Herero revolt began in January 1904 after years of increasing German encroachment and mistreatment.
   • Consequences of resisting: The German response was genocidal. General Lothar von Trotha issued an extermination order against the Herero. Thousands were driven into the Omaheke Desert to die of thirst, and survivors were placed in concentration camps where many perished from disease and forced labor. By 1908, the Herero population was reduced by approximately 80% (from 80,000 to 15,000), and the Namaqua population by about 50% (from 20,000 to 10,000). Their lands were confiscated.
   • Governor during the resistance: The initial uprising occurred during the governorship of Theodor Leutwein (1894-1905). However, the genocidal phase was largely overseen by General Lothar von Trotha, who was sent by the Kaiser to take military command.
