📅 26 Mei 1922 📍 Namibië, Zuid-Afrika

The Bondelswarts rose against oppressive taxation and colonial policing in South West Africa, which South Africa administered under a League mandate. South African forces used aircraft, machine guns, and artillery against the community; the repression killed civilians as well as fighters. The revolt exposed how the mandate system transferred colonial rule rather than ending it.
