38 It is important to note that this economic dependence meant that slavery was rife in all of Zanzibar for many years, even in British Zanzibar. R1001 8 Deutsch-Ostafrika. 8.26 Sklavensache 4a.

Mflm 79393 /1026. Militärstationen in Deutsch-Ostafrika. Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Zeitung no. 40, 1903. The newspaper specifically condemned the proposals advanced by the Flugblätter des Deutschen Kolonial-Bundes above. The journal considered the development of civil projects to be a much more effective allocation of funds. 42 In this case, Röhl’s argument for the inability of Wilhelm II alone to determine policy seems highly questionable. Röhl. 43 R 8023 Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft. 26 Rechts- und Verwaltungsangelegenheiten. 886 Einführung der Selbstverwaltung in den deutschen Schutzgebieten. Zeitschrift für Kolonialpolitik, Kolonialrecht und Kolonialwirtschaft, February 1905. Tagliche Rundschau, 16 October 1901. 44 Ralph Albert Austen, Northwest Tanzania Under German and British Rule: Colonial Policy and Tribal Politics, 1889-1939 (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1968), 254- 257. In fact, just before the start of the war, the northern part of Cameroon became an Islamic emirate in a quantitative step towards British “indirect rule.” Germans also desired “Ruhe und Sicherheit” in Africa during this period. 45 Wehler, “Bismarck’s Imperialism,” 129. 46 Heyden and Zeller, 32. 47 R1001 1 Allgemeine Angelegenheiten. 1.12 Geschäftigang und Organisation der Kolonialverwaltung.

Letter from Staatssekretär of the Admiralität to the Staatssekretär of the K-A dated 11 October 1899. 50 It is likely for this reason that German colonial governance was dominated by concerns over legal relationships. A typical example was when after Lüderitz had made his de facto territorial acquisition, the de jure reality was assured through the placing of a post bearing the inscription: “Latitude under the protection of the German Empire.” R1001 9 Deutsche-Südwestafrika. Mflm 79500 /2011 Allgemeine Politische Angelegenheiten. One of the major ways to downplay aggressive expansionism for the somewhat reluctant German public was to be continually reflective on legal relationships with the colonies. Reichstag delegates were also concerned that retrogressive legal interactions with the colonies would make Germany into a colonial pariah. R101 Reichstag des Deutschen Reiches.
