Notes
  • The Germans were remarkably late to get involved with tropical Africa, and held their colonial empire only for about 30 years. Nevertheless, their influence was strong, and the German colonial period is noteworthy-and occasionally notorious-for its accomplishments. German East Africa (present-day Tanzania) was the scene of one of the earliest colonizing attempts, in the course of which the Germans alienated large tracts of land for plantations and for forest reserves. This paper examines the major aspects of the German policy toward land alienation and forest reserves in the Usambara Highlands, located in the north-eastern corner of Tanzania.
