Domestic Reasons for the Emergence of Independence Movements Social factors (apartheid laws, contract labour system "okaholo", racial discrimination), economic conditions (mineral exploitation, SWANLA recruitment, extractivism), colonial administration (German rule 1884-1915, South African mandate, SWAPO formation 1960), actions of settlers (settler colonialism, fortified villages, brutal repression) 2. External Reasons for the Emergence of Independence Movements Role of ideas (Pan-Africanism, anti-colonial ideology, ANC influence), success of other movements (decolonization wave, Angola's independence 1975), post-war weaknesses of South Africa (economic burden, international isolation, military stalemate), Cold War impact (superpower rivalry, Soviet/Cuban support, UN involvement, East/West German rivalry) 3. Emergence and Growth of Pro-Independence Political Parties Political leaders (Sam Nujoma, Herman Toivo ja Toivo), political organization (SWAPO 1960, PLAN 1966, support base, UN recognition 1978), strategy and ideology (passive resistance → armed struggle, guerrilla warfare, diplomacy, Pan-Africanism), internal divisions (detainee issue, ideological debates, South Africa's divide-and-conquer strategy) 4. Importance of Non-Violence in Achieving Independence Campaigning and building support (early resistance, trade unions, SWAPO mobilization), protests and strikes (contract labour system, mass strikes, Gross Otavi 1893, limits of non-violence), negotiations (UN Resolution 2145 1966, SWAPO recognition 1978, Western Contact Group, UN Resolution 435 1988), colonial responses (UN termination of mandate, 1989 elections, new constitution) 5.
