Herero were cattle herders who migrated into what is now Namibia during the mid-18th century. Their language contained more than a thousand words for the colors and markings of cattle.
By 1903 the Herero had already ceded more than a quarter of their territory to German colonists. The Otavi railway line running from the African coast to inland German settlements would make German colonies much more accessible and would have ushered a new wave of Europeans into the area.
Colonial authorities and white settlers envisioned a predominately white "new African Germany," wherein the native populations would be put onto reservations and their land distributed among settlers and companies. Under German colonial rule, colonists were encouraged to seize land and cattle subjugate the indigenous as slave labor. German settlers often referred to black Africans as "baboons" and treated them with contempt.
In January 1904, the Herero attacked more than 100 settlers in the area of Okahandja. Cries in the Reichstag, and from the Kaiser himself, for total eradication grew strident. In August, German General Lothar von Trotha defeated the Ovaherero in the Battle of Waterberg and drove them into the desert where most died of dehydration. In October, the Nama people also rebelled only to suffer a similar fate.
The Herero genocide was a campaign of ethnic extermination and collective punishment waged by the German Empire against the Herero. It was the first genocide of the 20th century. Between 24,000 and 100,000 Hereros died. The first phase was characterized by widespread death from starvation and dehydration, due to the prevention of the Herero from leaving the Namib desert by German forces. Once defeated, thousands of Hereros were imprisoned in concentration camps, where the majority died of diseases, abuse, and exhaustion. Shipping charges apply - weight 44 lbs.

Italian Area, "Che Bello!" Monumental 98% Mint Collection, 1862-1999, In four large binders with all stamps neatly blackmounted on album pages, an extraordinary collection of mint, from powerful classics and highly comprehensive modern including errors, to many valuable and difficult-to-obtain sets from the colonies and other areas. Consider the following mint for example: Italy #20-21, 24-26, 37-40, 42-44, 45-51, 52-57, 58-63, 64-66, 67-72, 76-91, 111-12, 115-16, 117-18, 142A-42D, 201-10, 248-56, 268-79, 280-89, 290-305, 324-28, 331-41, 345-48, 349-54, 359-66, 367-76, 377-86, 477, 495-506, B17-19, B30-33, C3-9, E1-5, E9, E11, J25-27, P1, Q7-19, and others I could have listed but didn't, because the original gum is in question. Many of these might in fact be good and would be best served with a certificate. Speaking of certs, there are indeed some here, such as a mint #36 with o.g. (cat $4,400) and #54, also o.g. (cat $2,350). Some terrific used sets too, like 17-20, C42-47, C62-65, C95-99, and the issues of 1901-22 with advertising labels.
