The History of Namibia and the Caprivi Strip


The #Caprivi strip which extends from the north eastern tip of #Namibia is one of the most peculiar and striking geography features of any border in the world. The story behind this border goes into the scramble for #Africa during which the German and British Empire forged a treaty, giving Namibia its unique shape. Today, the Caprivi Strip is a…

  1. Plus Mandela handed over the exclave of Walvis Bay in 1994 that was always a possession of the Cape Colony, making the Prince Edward and Islands the only off shore possessions of South Africa.

  2. There is no desert in the Caprivi like your video suggests. It is savanna and wetlands. This degrades the value of this history video to very little more than false news.

  3. This is misinformation, these men shaped colonial South West Africa's borders yes, but not todays Namibia. Namibia is the current name given to the country after colonialism and has nothing to do with colonialists. Saying they shaped Namibia is a lie. Todays Namibia is developing and that has nothing to do with your forefathers buddy. Get your facts right.

  4. Sir, you forgot to mention that the real Jerusalem of the Bible is in Namibia. What a massive coverup by the colonizers and the Jesuits missionaries.

  5. Wonderful video. As a Namibian, it is always great to see foreign productions on our beautiful country. A slight correction though. At 4:48 you state that the strip is "inhospitable" and show a very arid landscape. Though a large part of Namibia is arid with little flora, the Caprivi Strip is one of, if not the most lush section of the country. Comparable to many equatorial states

  6. Please @Factspark could you do an in-depth video of the moon? Yes, I know there are a few, but they still leave me with insatiable questions, like: is the moon really a part of the earth, or, is there 'ownership' of the moon's land area with regard to nations on earth- is there a council of sorts?
    What is the best geographical point on the moon, to create a 'grow garden", within the moon's oribit around the earth, in relation to the sun; by that I mean for photo-receptors in plants to produce sustenance for human consuption.
    There has been conversations of mining the moon surface for He³; is it on going or what are the Earthly disputes?
    Tell us if the moon has, like the earth, 'swapped polarity' in its history, albeit with much less gravitation force.
    Thank you nevertheless, I hope you have a lovely weekend.

  7. Just wanted to say that I came across your channel recently and I must say, I am very impressed with you content and the quality of it. Also, your voice and accent, has almost an ASMR feeling to it. Very calming and I am also learning new things. Subbed to the channel now, keep the fantastic content coming.
