Book Description
Excerpt from The German African Empire Once bit, twice shy, is accepted as a rough formula of English diplomatic methods, but in all the preliminaries which prepared the way for the proclamations of Germany's territorial annexations in Africa, the British Foreign and Colonial Offices were four times bitten without betraying a single symptom of their proverbial shyness. In the whole business, the German Imperial Government did more than lay the foundations of her transitory Colonial Empire it embarked upon a national course of duplicity, lying, bad faith, and general roguery which culminated in the violation of Belgium, and thereby built for itself a monument of dishonour which will endure until the end of the world. And the monument of blindness and perversity erected by Mr. Gladstone's administrations in their relations with Bismarck in 1883 and 1884 will not be less enduring.

Book Description
Excerpt from The German Empire of Central Africa: As the Basis of a New German World Policy The Moderates, no less than the pan-germans, desire that Germany should be able to show her position strengthened after the war. There are two sub-varieties of Moderate opinion with regard to the direction in which Germany is to gain. One is the M ittel - Euro pa school. This lays the emphasis upon a closer union, political, military and economic, between the German Empire and its Allies austria-hungary, Bulgaria 'and Turkey - in such wise that there is a continuous belt Of German power from Hamburg to the Persian Gulf, a great central-european realm capable of defying the world. This scheme could be realized with practically no annexation. The other sub-variety sees Germany's future greatness secured by a great Empire in tropical Africa, in Mittel - Afrika, extending right across the Continent from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. This in volves considerable annexations, but annexations in Africa, not Europe. Very often the two schemes - mittel-europa and Mittel - Afrika - are held both together. But commonly even those who hold both ideas lay greater stress on one than on the other. It may be questioned whether any strong spontaneous interest is felt by the German masses in the lost oversea colonies. We find, for example, the champions of the Colonial Idea occasionally complain of wide-spread popular indifference, though they note with satisfaction that the war has turned the great mass Of the working-classes, who had hitherto been indifferent to the Colonial movement, or even averse from it, into its most convinced friends (dr. Solf, Secretary of State for the Colonies, quoted in the Kreuz Zeitung for January 9, But if gain is not to be had in other directions, then the gain of colonial territory acquires value as a salve to national pride, which would be wounded, if the war ended in loss all round. It is perhaps for this reason that Of late the idea of the African Empire has seemed to be in the ascendant.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Germans and Africa, Their Aims on the Dark Continent and How They Acquired Their African Colonies After a survey of the diplomatic history of the period, the question naturally intrudes itself - Was Great Britain justified in the attitude she first adopted towards her new competitor? From the British point of view, certainly. Great Britain had been first in the field, and in the struggle of the nations the first-comer naturally expects, if his strength fail not, to retain the prizes within his grasp. But the fact must not be overlooked that there is much to be said from the German point of View, and although the game of grab can never be a polite and gentle exercise, no player has really the right to complain if another is first in the field and secures the best stakes.

Book Description
This work, published in 1918, is a detailed examination of German colonial policy in Africa and its political and economic implications. The author, Emil Zimmermann, was a German journalist and politician who supported imperial expansion and advocated for a 'new world-policy' that would position Germany as a dominant global power. The book outlines Zimmermann's vision for German colonialism and argues that establishing a German empire in central Africa was essential to achieving this goal. The work is a fascinating and controversial window into German political and intellectual life on the eve of World War I.
