History of violent expansionism

It reminded us of a history of mass violence directed against specifically defined population groups, which had to a certain extent its origins and roots in the violent expansion of European colonialism.

The German empire played a particularly prominent (though by no means exclusive) role during this era of violently imposed foreign domination. 2005 reminds of another such event, when the mass killing in then "German East Africa" (the oppression of the so-called "Maji-Maji rebellion") turns a century. It can be assumed that this dark chapter in the history of what is euphemistically called "North-South relations" is even less noticed in public debate than the first of its kind a year earlier.
