Description
Summary:This scholarly study illuminates the diplomatic background to European imperialism in Africa between 1914 and 1919. Adopting a comparative approach, it establishes the motives behind British, French, and Belgian wartime designs on Germany's tropical African colonies. The work's fresh perspective results from its international character and its thorough treatment of the role African interests played in the peace settlement.
