Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the annexation of Togoland by Germany, Germany's subsequent colonisation efforts and finally the surrender of the territory to Allied forces. The author presents a detailed account of Germany's thirty-year rule in Togoland, a period characterised by infrastructure development but also marred by brutality and exploitation. The book highlights the contrast between the German approach, which sought to impose European standards and ideals upon the Togolese people, and the British approach, which emphasised local autonomy. The author questions the German claim to a superior moral right to rule based on strength and suggests that their failure to govern Togo effectively was due to a misunderstanding of the nature of strength and weakness. The book concludes by discussing the valuable lessons to be learned from Germany's colonial experiment in Togo, lessons which are still relevant in the modern era This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
