Overview

Even though the major battles of World War I were fought in Europe, it was the fate of the far-flung colonies of Germany that gave the war its true global scope - with campaigns reaching from China to New Guinea and East to West Africa. The War in Africa and the Far East, 1914-1917 provides a unique and concise history of the entire series of military events in Africa and Asia, giving the reader a better understanding of the relationship and chronology of these wide-ranging and world-changing events. While Germany was stripped of all its overseas colonies, the change in power had unintended consequences - most notably the rise of Japan in the Pacific, where former German colonies now stood at the territorial boundary between Japan and the United States.Printed in paperback for the first time, complete with original maps and photographs, this is a must-have for anyone with an interest in the history of World War I.
