It gives name to the southern littoral of Great Namaqualand, extending 200 miles from 26° S. lat. to the Orange river, or Cape Colony, and reaching 90 miles inland. In 1883 Angra-Pequeña was ceded by a Namaqua chieftain to Lüderitz, a Bremen merchant; and next year it was taken under German protection, with all the coast to the N. as far as Cape Frio, except Walfisch Bay, which belongs to England. It formed the beginning of what later became German Southwest Africa. The Germans called it Lüderitz Bay and the surrounding country Lüderitzland. Together with the rest of German Southwest Africa the Union of South Africa, Africa, by the decision of the Peace Conference of May 7, 1919, assumed a mandate over this former German possession. During the World War it had been one of the landing points ANIMAL for the forces sent from the Union of South Africa to invade German Southwest Africa.
