4. The Herero Uprising Background – As expanding the navy and maintaining an empire took their monetary toll, in 1905 Bulow realised the budget had to be balanced. He suggested increasing indirect taxes (taxes on goods) and an inheritance tax. The centre party and social democrats voted against the indirect taxes and the Conservatives against the inheritance tax. The deficit continued to grow. On a positive note, the blue-black block (blue for Conservative and black for the clerical Catholic party) remained a strong alliance and pushed through most other decisions. The SPD never reached the numbers, due to the unfair weighting of voting in Prussia and constituency boundaries which were favourable to the Conservative agriculturalists. In 1904 the Herero people, in Namibia, South West Africa, revolted against the German colonialists. They were defeated at the Battle of Waterberg. They were then subjected to a deliberate policy of genocide through execution, incarceration in concentration camps and forced migration into the waterless Namib Desert. Their population had fallen from 80,000 in 1903 to 15,000 in 1911. The Centre Party were particularly shocked by this event. There were Catholic missionaries in the colonies, which were highlighted by the rising political star Matthias Erzberger. It showed that there was lack of parliamentary accountability for the colonial service and that parliament needed greater financial control of colonial affairs, by 1906 this uprising had cost 456 million marks, which was equivalent to 12 dreadnoughts. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf131rsz0Gc&safe=active
