Raising of indigenous products, and excellent results were obtained. Vaccination was introduced, and the scourge of small-pox was arrested.

Excerpt from Togoland
One of the most curious and interesting features connected with the annexation of Togoland by Germany, the colonisation of the territory by its Teuton administrators, and its final surrender to the allied British and French forces, is the quietness and decorum that has characterised every incident and phase of the several processes. In July, 1884, a German Consul-General, named Nachtigal, ostensibly engaged in the capacity of Trade Commissioner to report to his Government upon the progress of German commerce in West Africa, unostentatiously unfurled the flag of the Fatherland in Bagida and Lome, and added an area of 33,700 square miles of Togoland to the 322,450 square miles of country in Damaraland and Namaqualand, which at that period constituted the extent of Germany's African Empire. This totally unexpected act of acquisition was accomplished without fuss, and the fact was accepted by Downing Street and the Quai D'Orsay almost without protest.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the annexation of Togoland by Germany, Germany's subsequent colonisation efforts and finally the surrender of the territory to Allied forces. The author presents a detailed account of Germany's thirty-year rule in Togoland, a period characterised by infrastructure development but also marred by brutality and exploitation. The book highlights the contrast between the German approach, which sought to impose European standards and ideals upon the Togolese people, and the British approach, which emphasised local autonomy. The author questions the German claim to a superior moral right to rule based on strength and suggests that their failure to govern Togo effectively was due to a misunderstanding of the nature of strength and weakness. The book concludes by discussing the valuable lessons to be learned from Germany's colonial experiment in Togo, lessons which are still relevant in the modern era This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
