"Deutsch-Ostafrika: Geographie und Geschichte der Colonie" by Brix Förster is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the geography and history of the German colony of East Africa, exploring its resources, geographic characteristics, and the processes through which it was established. Through this comprehensive examination, Förster likely seeks to provide a clear understanding of the colony's potential and challenges. The opening of the text presents an introductory preface outlining the necessity of understanding the geographical and economic contexts of foreign territories for development and colonization. Förster emphasizes the importance of geographical studies and trade statistics in recognizing the agricultural and commercial viability of Deutsch-Ostafrika. He highlights the initial intentions behind the colonization efforts, including plans for plantation establishment and the promotion of indigenous agricultural practices. Additionally, the text addresses the significant gaps in existing geographical knowledge at the time, underscoring the need for critical research and systematic mapping of the region to support future colonization efforts.
