go into more detail about why they started a policy of imperialism and how did they rule their colonies. Go into more detail about the obstacle to imperial rule.
Germany began the policy of imperialism with Bismarck as their leader. When Germany began imperialism in Africa they established the Cameroons, German South-west Africa, and New Guinea. They did all of this in one year, 1884. The British and French were afraid that Germans were going to take over not only Africa, but Europe also. While Germany was concentrated on the Cameroons and Togo, Britain and France were concentrated on Congo, Egypt, and the Nigeria River areas. Germany then became the 3rd largest colonial power in Africa.
After Bismarck noticed the scramble for African colonization, he started the Berlin Conference in 1884-1885. The Berlin Conference basically said that any country that wanted to colonize a part of Africa had to set up a form of government.
In 1905, Germany tried to isolate France with the First Moroccan Crisis. That lead to the Algeciras Crisis. That Crisis was when France's influence on Morocco was balanced by the trading of territories. Which then lead to the Agadir Crisis. That was some sort of a cause and effect, caused by Germany.
Germany's Colonizing power in Africa:
German Kamerun (now Cameroon & part of Nigeria)
German East Africa (now Rwanda, Burundi, & Tanzania)
German South-west Africa (Now Namibia)
German Togoland (Now Togo & eastern part of Ghana)
==Germany set up elementary schools in their colonies to improve the education.
==
The yellow parts of the African map are the places that Germany annexed.
No German territories remained under German government. For example:
Kamerun(1884-1916) is now Cameroon and part of Nigeria
East Africa(1885-1919) is now Rwanda,Burundi and most of Tanzania
South-west Africa(1884-1915) is now Namibia
Togoland(1884-1914) is now Togo and eastern part of Ghana
