South African invasion of Namibia

The South African invasion of Namibia, or more commonly known as the South African-Namibian War, was a major military conflict between South Africa and Namibia. The war came almost immediately after the Namibian Liberation War, for Namibia had largely demobilized it's armed forces.
== Background ==
=== Southwestern Crisis ===
The Southwestern Crisis was a crisis in southwestern Africa, nations such as Angola, Zambia, Botswana and most prominently Namibia were effected by a sudden wave of political violence and rebellion which was sparked due to decades of corruption and neglect within those countries, Namibia was the most effected country by the crisis and requested international support and aid in the form of military peacekeeping operations and humanitarian aid, the Chemgotan government saw an opportunity to create further sphere of influences within Africa along with showcasing the strength of the Chemgotan Defence Force against anti-government forces within Namibia, by the end of the war, the Chemgotan government alongside delegates from the Magadan Bloc negotiated that Namibia become a protectorate state of Chemgota and the wider Magadan Bloc, with reluctance and a strong popular support against Namibia transitioning into a client state, the Namibian government accepted the terms of the delegation and Namibia was subsequently made a joint occupation zone until the formation of a puppet government in the form of the Mandate of Namibia.
=== Mandate of Namibia ===
The Mandate of Namibia was made after the Chemgotan and Magadan Bloc forces decided to de facto add to Namibia to the Chemgotan External Territories.
=== Namibian Liberation War ===
The Namibian people were getting tired of the "colonial" Magadan Bloc mandate, and called for Namibian independence to be renewed. The rebels formed the All-National Popular Action Movement for Namibian Independence or ANPAMNI, it was a big tent coalition which would go on to fight from 2085-2094 and successfully achieve independence again.
== Air campaign ==
The South African Air Force (SAAF) would begin a massive bombing campaign against Namibian targets at around 0230 on 25 July. Throughout the duration of the war the SAAF would conduct over 150 missions over Namibia and destroy countless military targets. However the SAAF came under fire after the SAAF aircraft bombed several civilian areas in the capital. Some military leaders said the air campaign was "As good as Desert Storm's".
