Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Campaigns in Africa and the Pacific, 1914-1918 The Campaigns in Africa have an interest of their own. They present aspects of the Great War associated with varied, and often strange, adventure. And as illustrations of military resource and skill they well repay study. In order that they may be the better understood, a succinct account has been given of German colonial policy and dealings. Some of the facts may appear incredible. There is, however, not one that is not based upon well-tested proof. German rule in Africa portended a revival of chattel slavery upon a great scale, and had the contemplated German Empire in Africa been established, the desolating social phenomenon of chattel slavery could not have been confined to the so-called "Dark Continent." Happily, in the campaigns in Africa the evil was rooted up. The effect of these campaigns on the world's future will be deep. Both the causes of military operations and the character of the terrain over which they take place have to be presented clearly to the reader's mind before they can be followed with ease. Often military events have been dealt with as a kind of poetic history, or in the dry technical manner which, save to those with expert knowledge, is repellent. There is no reason why they should not be narrated at once truthfully and lucidly. That attempt, at any rate, has here been made. Finally, the relations of these campaigns to each other and to the Great War as a whole have been touched upon as far as necessary.

Download or read book The Forgotten Front written by Ross Anderson and published by Tempus Publishing, Limited. This book was released on 2004 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first history of the East African Front of the First World War a campaign that inspired the Humphrey Bogart film The African Queen. The First World War began in East Africa in July 1914 and did not end until 13 November 1918. In its scale and impact, it was the largest conflict yet to take place on African soil. Four empires and their subject peoples were engaged in a conflict that ranged from modern Kenya in the north to Mozambique in the south. The campaign combined heroic human endeavour and terrible suffering set in some of the most difficult terrain in the world. The troops had to cope with extremes that ranged from arid deserts to tropical jungles to formidable mountains and almost always on inadequate rations. Yet the East African Front has languished in undeserved obscurity over the years with many people only vaguely aware of its course of events.
Download or read book World War I in Africa written by Anne Samson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast military campaigns in Africa during World War I were among the most ambitious of the Great War. Many histories, however, have regarded these campaigns as side-shows to the war on the Western Front. World War One in Africa looks afresh at the impact of the strategy of the German and Allied campaigns, and at the great rivalry between General Jan Christian Smuts, who took on the German forces in East Africa, and General Lettow-Vorbeck, celebrated as the only German general to occupy British territory and whose troops finished the war undefeated. Using primary material from British and South African archives, this book is a detailed study of the giants of the campaign, and the battles which would shape the outcome of the Great War as well as the future of the African continent and the British Empire.
