The Last German Colony, East Africa, 1916 - A Glimpse into the Forgotten Theatre of World War I
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a lesser-known chapter of history - the German East African campaign during World War I. The image showcases the rugged terrain and vast expanse of this colonial territory in Africa, which was fiercely contested between Germany and Britain. Led by General Lettow-Vorbeck, the resourceful German military employed guerilla tactics that compelled Britain to divert significant resources to this seemingly minor theatre of war. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the strategic importance placed on controlling these African territories. The print is part of "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume VI" edited by J. A. Hammerton and published in London in 1916. It serves as a visual testament to the global scale and complexity of World War I. While its creator remains unknown, this image captures an important moment in history when colonial powers clashed over territorial dominance. From Rhodesia to Uganda and Rwanda, these lands witnessed intense military operations that shaped the course of events during wartime. As we reflect on this forgotten aspect of World War I, let us remember those who fought bravely amidst challenging conditions in far-flung corners like East Africa. This print serves as a poignant reminder that even within seemingly remote regions lies a story waiting to be uncovered from beneath layers of time.
