German colonial aspirations in Africa ended with the end of the First World War. British and French Army forces seized German colonies in Africa and British naval forces occupied the German port facilities. The Treaty of Versailles legitimized and officially mandated the former German colonies to British and French colonial authorities. This collection comprises correspondence, studies and reports, cables, maps, and other kinds of documents related to U.S. consular activities. U.S. Consulates were listening posts reporting on the activities of the German colonial governments and later the mandate authorities, and the activities of the native peoples.

Includes dispatches from U.S. Consulates regarding activities in Togoland, Cameroon, German South West Africa [present-day Namibia], and German East Africa [present-day Rwanda, Burundi, parts of continental Tanzania, and Mozambique].
