Although Germany has been a major international player in Africa ever since West Germany's readmission to international politics after 1955, surprisingly little has been written about this topic, and even less reliable knowledge has been established. This study poses the need for a review of Germany's relations with the African continent over the past decades. It challenges scholars to fill the factual gaps that characterize the state of research so far. Ulf Engel is associate professor of politics in Africa at the Institute of African Studies, University of Leipzig. Robert Kappel is professor of politics and economics at the Institute of African Studies, University of Leipzig.

The first book in a planned series dealing with the social structure of the European colonial services in Africa, this volume examines Germany's military and administrative personnel in the colonies of German East Africa, South-West Africa, Cameroun, and Togo: their performance on the scene, their educational and class background, their ideology, their continuing ties with the homeland, and their subsequent careers. Although the African colonies played a negligible part in German trade and foreign investment, they were profoundly affected by thirty years of German rule. Brutal and overbearing though many German administrators were, they had substantial achievements to their credit. Among other things, they introduced European technology, medicine, and education in their colonies, and they laid the groundwork for today's states by establishing firm geographic boundaries and building an infrastructure of ports, roads, and railways.

*Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading "The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood." - Otto von Bismarck The modern history of Africa was, until very recently, written on behalf of the indigenous races by the white man, who had forcefully entered the continent during a particularly hubristic and dynamic phase of European history. In 1884, Prince Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together, to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event, known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885, galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa. The conference established two fundamental rules for European seizure of Africa. The first of these was that no recognition of annexation would granted without evidence of a practical occupation, and the second, that a practical occupation would be deemed unlawful without a formal appeal for protection made on behalf of a territory by its leader, a plea that must be committed to paper in the form of a legal treaty. This began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of Chartered Companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets and alcohol, and having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, begin establishing boundaries of future European African colonies. The ease with which this was achieved was due to the fact that, at that point, traditional African leadership was disunited, and the people had just staggered back from centuries of concussion inflicted by the slave trade. Thus, to usurp authority, to intimidate an already broken society, and to play one leader against the other was a diplomatic task so childishly simple, the matter was wrapped up, for the most part, in less than a decade. The German role in this complicated drama was something of an enigma. The German Empire would prove to be the most short-lived of all, for, along with the Russian and Ottoman Empires, it did not survive World War I. In 1919, Germany lost all of its African colonies, which then accrued as League of Nations mandated territories either to France or Britain. The mandate over German South West Africa, the future Namibia, was placed under British control by proxy, and its day-to-day administration was handled from South Africa. Ultimately, South Africa absorbed South West Africa as a virtual province and resisted pressure to cede authority to the United Nations for decades. Furthermore, the contest between Germany and Britain on the African continent during the late 19th century would also create the conditions that led to the North African Campaign in World War II. German South West Africa: The History and Legacy of Germany's Biggest African Colony chronicles the politics and conflicts that marked Germany's efforts to colonize German South West Africa. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about German South West Africa like never before.

Excerpt from The Germans and Africa, Their Aims on the Dark Continent and How They Acquired Their African Colonies The German Chancellor Caprivi, who succeeded Bismarck, on one occasion stated that it would be the greatest misfortune for Germany to secure the whole of Africa. It is the purpose of this book to show how the colonial movement arose in the Fatherland, to point out the causes that led to the colonial activity of the last two decades of the nineteenth century, to describe the founding of the German colonial system in Africa and the diplomatic and sometimes peculiar processes by which it was constantly enlarged, and incidentally to demonstrate how the German colonial appetite grew and grew until there was no reasonable room for doubt that the German people were aiming at a banquet at which the African continent should be the chief dish. In dealing with the history of German colonial beginnings in Africa, one supreme fact emerges from the review: Great Britain, already firmly established on the Dark Continent, was not prepared to welcome the intrusion of a new rival, and adopted a policy that, from the German point of view, led to bitter and perhaps unreasoning jealousy. In her dealings with Germany, Great Britain did not at first readily co-operate with her new neighbour. The reason is not far to seek.
