Sub-Saharan Africa 105 years ago today: Opening Shots in Africa (12 Sep 1914) https://buff.ly/31iEnPN With the onset of World War I, the French and British moved swiftly to occupy German Togoland and, less successfully, to invade German Kamerun. Meanwhile the Germans launched their own small offensive, crossing from German East Africa into the British East Africa Protectorate. #subsaharanafrica #history #welovehistory #ww1 #1910s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1914 #ww1africa #africanhistory #britishcameroons #britishempire #ww100 #frenchempire #germanempire #greatwar #september #september12 #tanganyika #colonialism #maps #todayinhistory #historytoday #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Douala, Cameroon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TiCctASTf/?igshid=hce81zk82yx7

Sub-Saharan Africa 97 years ago today: League of Nations Mandates (20 Jul 1922) https://buff.ly/2Z1B92d Following the Treaty of Versailles the newly-formed League of Nations granted the victorious Allies mandates over the colonies they had conquered from the Germans. South West Africa was designated a Class C Mandate—to be administered as an integral territory—and assigned to South Africa in December 1920. The other former German territories in Africa were designated as Class B Mandates—to be administered with regard to local culture and religion—and assigned to Britain, France, and Belgium in July 1922. #subsaharanafrica #history #welovehistory #map #1920s #20thcentury #modernhistory #1922 #africa #africanhistory #belgium #britishcameroons #britishtogoland #cameroon #frenchempire #germanempire #july #july20 #leagueofnations #southwestafrica #ruandaurundi #tanganyika #britishempire #maps #todayinhistory #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory (at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HRjBPAn8y/?igshid=mcusls5p28dv
