    South-West Africa under German Rule.
    (Heinemann Educational Book Ltd., 1894) Bley, H.
    South-West Africa under German Rule (1894) is a contemporary historical account examining the early period of German colonial administration in the territory now known as Namibia. The volume describes the establishment of German authority, settlement patterns, and the development of colonial governance structures following the declaration of the protectorate in the 1880s. It discusses economic activities such as trade, agriculture, and infrastructure building, as well as military presence and relations between colonial officials, settlers, and indigenous communities. The work reflects late 19th-century European perspectives on imperial expansion and provides insight into the political, social, and economic conditions of the territory during the formative years of German colonial rule. As a primary-era narrative, it serves as a significant historical source for understanding colonial policy, frontier conditions, and cross-cultural encounters in Southern Africa.
