Here's what happened on October 02, 1904:

• Namibian Genocide: Von Trotha's Extermination Order On October 2, 1904, German General Lothar von Trotha issued the infamous Vernichtungsbefehl (Extermination Order) in German South West Africa, marking a horrific moment in colonial history. The order explicitly commanded German colonial troops to kill all Herero men, whether armed or unarmed, and to take no prisoners. This directive was a deliberate strategy of racial annihilation against the indigenous Herero people during their uprising against German colonial rule. The order is now recognized as one of the first documented genocides of the 20th century, resulting in the systematic murder of approximately 80% of the Herero population and setting a precedent for future atrocities.
