EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed map illustrating the closing phases of the East African Campaign during 1917-18. The map, taken from "The Great World War: A History, " provides a comprehensive overview of the European powers' presence in Africa during World War I. It highlights various significant locations and tracks related to this campaign. The shaded area represents the territory still held by the enemy in German East Africa at the beginning of 1917, while coastal areas are shown as being under British control. The map also traces General von Lettow-Vorbeck's track from December 1916 until his surrender on November 14, 1918. Additionally, it depicts Colonel Tafel's line of retreat from the Mohenge district until his surrender on November 27, 1918. Another notable feature is the track of the Wintgens-Naumann raiding force between February and October 1917. This image offers insights into key military movements and positions during this period. With its historical significance, this print serves as a valuable resource for understanding colonialism, imperialism, and warfare in early twentieth-century Africa. It sheds light on how European powers vied for control over territories such as German East Africa (present-day Tanzania) and their impact on local populations. Preserved by Heritage Images, this photograph captures an important chapter in world history that shaped not only Africa but also global geopolitics during that time.
