Even with German Sudwest Afrika, I highly do not believe that Germany would risk war to avenge the death of their missionary. The Royal Navy outnumbered the German Fleet at least ten or twelve to one, and in addition to that, there are too few troops in Sudwest Afrika to really make a difference, all it would just succeed in doing is just adding Namibia to the list of British colonies.
