Asante kwa jibu lako! Sijaelewa swali lako. Unamaanisha mali gani?
Asante kwa jibu lako! Sijaelewa swali lako. Unamaanisha mali gani?Bwana mtafiti habari yako, mie sio mwanahistoria hivyo habari za huyo bwana uliemtaja sizijui.
Nina swari moja kwako, unamaoni gani juu ya kile kinachodhaniwa mali za Mjerumani?
Inasadikiwa Mjerumani alivyojua vita atashindwa basi mali zake akazizindika kwa makafara ambayo si rahisi mtu mwingine kuzichukua hizo mali.Asante kwa jibu lako! Sijaelewa swali lako. Unamaanisha mali gani?
Mtafute kaka ake fred vunja bei.....anaitwa fadhili fabian ngajiro.. ingia Facebook utampatia yupo fair Sana atakuaaidia sana kwenye hii topic Yako.....Mimi ni mtafiti/mwanafunzi wa Ujerumani na ninaandika insha kuhusu mkoloni Herrmann von Wissmann wa Ujerumani. Alikuwa meja na mwanajeshi wa Afrika ya Mashariki ya Kijerumani 1888-1895. Kuna wajerumani wachache wanaosema kwamba alifanya vitu vizuri na alikuwa rafiki wa watanzania. Hawadhani kwamba alikuwa mkoloni mkatili na alifanya mauaji ya watu wengi.
Ninajua maneno haya si kweli.
Herrmann von Wissmann na jeshi lake aliua watu wengi katika vita. Bado wajerumani wachache (especially right-wing extremist groups) wanasema kwamba watanzania wanampenda Herrmann von Wissmann kwa sababu alifanya vitu vizuri kwa Tanzania.
So, ningependa kujua: Mnajua na mnadhani nini kuhusu Herrmann von Wissmann?
Samahani kwa kiswahili changu kibaya! Nimejifunza tangu miaka miwili tu…
Asante sana kwa kujibu swali langu.
Kwa kuongezea tu Wajerumani walisifika pia kwa ubaguzi na ukatili mkubwa hasa bwana mkubwa Carl Peters na waambata wake akiwemo WinsmanAsante sana! Nilifanya literature review tayari. Sasa ninataka kujua kuhusu maoni ya Watanzania. Lakini umenisaidia tayari na jibu lako.
Mimi ni mzambiaMnaamini huyo ni mjerumani kweli!!
Asante kwa jibu lako. So inamaanisha kwamba mchungaji Kamara Kusupa alijua Hermann von Wissmann? binafsi/personally?Mchezo wa watu weusi kusalitiana haujaanza leo. Tuna hii dhambi toka zamani. Laiti tusingesalitiana leo tungekua miongoni mwa nchi ambazo hazikuwahi kutawaliwa.
Turudi katika mada. Ndugu Mtafiti wa Ujerumani, babu zako bwana Herrman Von Wissman alikua ni katili mkubwa na ameua halaiki ya watu. Nilipata kufahamu habari zake kwa uchache sana kutoka kwa Mchungaji na mwanamageuzi Kamara Kusupa. Ana ubobezi wa masuala ya harakati kabla na baada ya uhuru.
Siwezi kusemea moja kwa moja.Asante kwa jibu lako. So inamaanisha kwamba mchungaji Kamara Kusupa alijua Hermann von Wissmann? binafsi/personally?

Mazishi ya Jenerali Paul von Lettow Vorbeck (20 March 1870 – 9 March 1964) yaliyofanyika Ujerumani na askari watiifu kutoka iliyokuwa German East Africa walialikwa kuhudhuria mwaka 1964.
Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck (20 March 1870 – 9 March 1964), also called the Lion of Africa ( German: Löwe von Afrika)
In 1964, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck died in Hamburg. The West German government and the Bundeswehr flew in two former Askaris as state guests, so that they could attend the funeral of "their" general.
Several officers of the Bundeswehr were assigned as an honor guard, and West Germany's Minister of Defense, Kai-Uwe von Hassel, gave the eulogy, saying that the deceased, "was truly undefeated in the field." Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck was buried in Pronstorf, Schleswig-Holstein in the cemetery of Vicelin Church
Aiseee...Return to Morogoro - A valuable addition to the literature of soldiers' experiences during the First World War
Reviewer:
Kathy Munro
Book Review Type:
Standard Book Review
During the First World War (1914-1918) a surprising number of young White and Black South African men enlisted to serve in the armies of Britain and of her Empire.
They were speedily moulded into soldiers, chaplains, medical men and labourers. They came from all four provinces of the recently established Union of South Africa to join, firstly, the South African Defence force to fight in the campaign to defeat and dislodge the Germans from their colony in German South West Africa.
Later these young men enlisted to serve in an overseas expeditionary force and were sent to fight in East Africa, North Africa, the Middle East (Mesopotamia) and on the Western Front of France and Belgium.
The Germans in East Africa under Von Lettow Vorbeck were elusive and the Battles of the Somme and Flanders became wars of attrition and static trench carnage.
The motives of these volunteer soldiers and workers were varied. There were ancestral ties for some whose families were 19th century immigrants to South Africa.
Patriotism and a belief in the unity of the British empire inspired such men. Other youths sought fame, glory and adventure. Perhaps they sought an escape from humdrum ordinary lives on farms and small villages or in unpromising careers.
Few knew in advance that the slaughter and swathe of destruction of the first technologically driven war would end in death in the trenches or injury, disablement or debilitating tropical fevers.
The pity and loss of war had to be carried by the grieving mothers, widowed wives and orphaned children for lives sacrificed not in defence of their homes and farms but for some greater, vaguely understood Empire goal.
Now a century later we remember and try to understand why it all happened and what it meant. The strategic histories of the battles were told in the campaign and regimental histories; biographies and memoirs of the generals and the politicians directing the war began to appear almost immediately after the war.
The elusive histories were the experiences of the ordinary soldiers, the privates, in the trenches, ranging by foot or on horseback or motorcycles across the African veld.
Historiography of the early 21st century now writes about the voice of the small man and attempts to recover and interpret the story of the individual soldier. The Imperial War Museum has encouraged families to deposit their archives in the museum. Letters, diaries, and oral histories may be studied in such repositories in London and in the case of South Africa, the university and national archives become a mine of information.
The resurgence of interest in genealogical and family histories has revived interest in ancestors who fought or served in the First World War. This all means that there are many new First World War memoirs and histories appearing. At the same time professional historians (Stone, Macmillan, Ferguson, Hastings) write about context and meaning.
The South African literature on the First World War has also been given a boost by writers such as Bill Nasson, Chris Schoeman, Ian Uys, Peter Digby and Tim Couzens in addition to the regimental histories.
The renewed efforts to make known the experiences of individuals is a distinct genre of history. James Bourhill has sought and found his own family history. He draws heavily on the superb historical papers collection of the University of the Witwatersrand and on the South African Defence Document Centre as well as the private James Bourhill collection. In this book he tells the story of five men from three related, intertwined South African families, the Stockdales, the Tobias brothers, and the Bourhills. This is a book about family history, endurance, survival and their later lives and progeny.
The five young men, George and Meyer Tobias, Walter Stockdale, and Arthur and Jamie Stockdale come alive through their letters to their families.
Return to Morogoro - book cover.jpg
Book Cover
The author sets himself the ambitious and unwieldy task of locating and then mining family letters to both relate a family history (it is almost a family saga) and then to tell the story of young men in search of identity, service, love and adventure. It was remarkable that despite the horror and loss of war the five main characters survived (though only one was unscathed) and they all returned home to South Africa.
Tropical illnesses such as malaria took their toll in East Africa. George Tobias, who served not as a soldier but as a chaplain was severely wounded as was his brother Meyer. Jamie Bourhill suffered repeatedly from malaria.
It is a complex story that takes the reader back into 19th century farming, mining and missionary roots and then forward through 20th century lives lived through warfare and peacetime adjustment.
These letters written over the four years of war are the central focus of this valuable addition to the literature of the soldiers' experiences. Their families, the fathers and mothers, wives and beloveds are also players and active participants keeping home fires burning or themselves serving as vital nurses in hospitals in South Africa and England.
The author achieves the rare feat of making the reader care about the fate of his grandfather and great uncles and I was pleased that there are some details of post war lives through the post 1919 influenza epidemic, labour strikes and economic depression. These men hardly returned to "homes fit for heroes". South Africa was still a desperately poor place for many in the interwar decades.
The best parts of the story are the actual letters. My own preference would have been for these singular, extraordinary, literate family letters from caring young men to have been produced in full.
The narrative should focus more strongly on context. Too few of these marvellous letters are reproduced in full. The voice and personality of the leading characters comes through most completely in them. I would have liked to have read the letters and not the racy mediated version.
The book is more of a family history than a military history. In a sense the author is too ambitious. He has been so caught up in the big family epic that the core of the book becomes too heavily overlaid with the background of earlier family history. It is the individual going to war who matters here.
The book is illustrated with many small, rare family black and white snapshots drawn from the private archive and hence have a documentary interest.
Supplementary photographs are extracted from internet sources. Some undocumented contemporary newspaper cartoons (no source reference given) are amusing but have little point unless directly and explicitly connected to the story. The neat maps of campaign activity help, for example, in positioning Morogoro. A glossary explains South African terms. The index is professional.
The bibliography has the feel of an incomplete working document and there are some significant omissions in the bibliography.
For example, Delville Wood cannot be discussed without reference on the work of Ian Uys. It should have been explained that "Father Hill" (dropped into the story on a few pages) was Eustace Hill, who was the hero of Delville Wood who later became the headmaster of St John's College, Johannesburg, 1922 to 1934, this sort of thumb nail sketch of a featured character could have been put into an explanatory footnote.
Richard Meinertzhagen is discussed at length but the source referencing for the controversies surrounding his career is missing. The wealthy Jewish businessman referred to as Mr Marks was presumably Sammy Marks and his biography by Mendelsohn could have thrown light on this encounter.
The source material used by Bourhill has been pinpointed in asterisk footnotes but endnotes or footnotes could have been used more effectively for research cross referencing and further elaboration. An important omission is the lack of a family tree or genealogical chart showing the links between cousins, parents, wives, uncles and aunts, to sort out the confusion of main and cameo players in this saga. In that sense the book is less polished than it should have been. Perhaps a case of rushing into print too quickly? I think the book would have benefitted if a professional editor had been engaged or if there was an editor, the job was not well done.
Thirty degree books is a publisher specializing in military history.
The strength of the book is the use of original archival material. Its historical value lies in the broad sweep of a family history and their trials, tribulations, daily anxieties and personal struggles as pioneers, pilgrims, missionaries, miners and farmers through several generations.
The subtext is the impact of wars, from the Anglo Boer War through First World War to Second World War on English speaking, British immigrant families.

GERMAN EAST AFRICA: Captured native German troops give a drill display (1916)
Sha'iri la MakunganyaNimewahi kukutana na ushairi mmoja wa kiswahili cha zamani ulindikwa kwa maandishi ya kiarabu (lakini ni wa kiswahili) huko Zanzibar miaka hiyo ya mwishoni mwa karne ya 19
Bila kukosea uliandikwa huko Zanzibari lakini ulielezea mji wa kilwa (dola ya kiislamu pia) na kiongozi wake Makungunya. Pia ulimuelezea huyu Wisman kwa uchache,
Ulikuwa unamuelezea Wismann kama kijana mwenye akili nyingi kweli kweli, muungwana kisawasawa, hodari katika vita, na boti lake la kivita lililo izunguka kilwa kisiwani, yani ukimbubujia sifa zisizo na kifani
Nikipata huo ushairi ntakuwekea hapa

............ilikuwa ikishuka pwani na Sandani kwenye mlango wa mto Wami, Bagamoyo kwenye mlango wa Kingani, na Dar-es-Salaam, mwisho wa reli kuu, kama malengo yake mfululizo. Adui alikuwa amefukuzwa, sio tu kutoka kwa reli ya Tanga-Moschi, lakini kusini mwa barabara ya Pangani-Handeni-Kondoa-Irangi; na Jenerali Smuts alikuwa ameanzisha Makao Makuu Makuu kwenye ukingo wa kushoto wa Mto Lukigura, ambao unaangukia Wami kwenye ukingo wake wa kushoto kwa umbali wa maili sitini kutoka mdomoni mwake.

Tarehe 13 Agosti Kikosi kilisonga mbele kwenye barabara ya Turiani. Nchi ambayo walijikuta haikuwa ya kijivu tena au nyekundu ya unga, lakini kwa kweli ni ya kijani kibichi, ingawa ilikuwa bado, kwa sehemu kubwa, iliyofunikwa na chakavu na nyasi hadi kiuno, na mikunjo ya uwanda usio na uvuguvugu ulifanya iwe pana. mtazamo hauwezekani.
Ukaribu wa adui, kama ilivyo kawaida katika vita vya aina hii, ulikuwa wa uhakika zaidi kuliko mahali alipo, na tahadhari zote za kijeshi zilichukuliwa tangu wakati huo wakati wa matembezi ya mchana kwenda Turiani, na wakati wa mapema yaliyofuata.
Tarehe 15 Agosti Kikosi kilihamia Chasi, na tarehe 16 Agosti, baada ya kufanya kazi kwa siku nzima katika ujenzi wa madaraja mawili, kambi hiyo ilisonga mbele hadi Kwevi Lombo, karibu na Mto Makindu, na kuanzishwa mnamo saa 11 jioni.
Tarehe 17 Agosti Kikosi kilipokea amri ya kusonga mbele alasiri hadi Dakawa, ambako mapigano yalikuwa yakiendelea siku nzima. watu, kupumzika katika kambi baada ya siku yao ngumu na marehemu usiku, alikuwa kusikiliza asubuhi yote, kama pakiti ya terriers mtetemeko na msisimko, kwa sauti familiar ya mashine-gun na bunduki-moto; na baada ya mwendo wa saa nne na nusu walifika Dakawa saa 7 mchana Hapa Jenerali Smuts alikuwa ameweka makao yake makuu...
mashambani tulivu ndani ya moto mkali. Ni mara kwa mara tu kwamba usawa wao ulivunjwa kwa nafasi kwa bahati ya mlipuko wa ganda karibu na makazi yao.
Uendeshaji wa Jenerali Smuts hadi sasa ulikuwa na mafanikio, na Wajerumani, wakipigana na hatua ya ulinzi wa nyuma, lakini bila kutoa upinzani mkali au wa muda mrefu kwa wakati wowote, walilazimishwa kurudi, kwanza kwenye mstari. Dar-es-Salaam-Ziwa Tanganyika reli, na kisha kuivuka hadi kwenye nchi ya milima ambayo iko kati ya reli na bonde la chini la Mto Rufiji.
Kikosi cha Gold Coast chenyewe kilikuwa kimevuka njia ya reli katika sehemu ya maili moja mashariki mwa Morogoro, na kutoka hapo kilikuwa kimepenya katika nchi yenye milima kusini kwa umbali wa maili kumi na tano, kikipiga kambi siku ya Jumapili, Septemba 3, mwaka huu. jirani na kituo cha misheni huko Matombo. Mahali hapa papo kwenye ukingo wa kaskazini wa Milima ya Uluguru—nyanda za juu ambazo zinachukua eneo lenye ukubwa wa takriban maili mia za mraba—ambapo sasa ilikuwa ni kazi ya Kitengo cha Kwanza kujitahidi kuwafukuza adui waliokimbilia humo. .
Ilikuwa ni tarehe 4 Septemba, 1916—siku ambayo kituo cha misheni huko Matombo kiliachishwa kazi—ambapo Kikosi cha Gold Coast kilijaaliwa, kwa mara ya kwanza, kushiriki kikamilifu zaidi katika kampeni ya Afrika Mashariki.

26Kapteni Jack Butler, VC, DSO—ambaye alikuwa ameshinda tuzo hizi zote mbili alipokuwa akihudumu na Kikosi cha Gold Coast katika Kamerun—basi alitumwa mbele na Kampuni ya Pioneer ili kuchunguza upya nafasi ya adui.
Kapteni Butler na watu wake walisonga mbele kwenye barabara hiyo, iliyopanda kwa kasi, yenye vilima vingi na vilima vingi, kuelekea kwenye kichwa cha njia inayoelekea kwenye Milima ya Uluguru—iliyokuwa karibu na chini ya vilima ambavyo, upande wa kushoto wa barabara, Kikirunga ni hatua ya kilele. Barabara hii ilikimbia, kutoka mahali ambapo Kikosi kilisimamishwa, hadi kwenye mwinuko mkali na kando ya bonde nyembamba, kila upande ambao kopjes za urefu unaoongezeka polepole zilipanda mara kwa mara. Ya kwanza kati ya hizi, iliyo karibu maili moja na nusu kutoka mahali pake pa kuanzia, na iliyokuwa upande wa kushoto wa barabara, ilichukuliwa na Kapteni Butler na Kampuni ya Pioneer, na mnyang'anyi alitumwa kuchukua nafasi katika mahali ambapo, mbele kidogo, barabara ilichukua mkondo wa umbo la U kuelekea kushoto.

Von Lettow-Vorbeck, Amiri Jeshi Mkuu wa Ujerumani, ambaye kwa muda wote alikuwa nafsi hai ya upinzani uliotolewa kwa Waingereza, hakuwa mtu anayeamini kufanya mambo kwa nusu, na alipogundua kuwa bonde la Rufiji lilikuwa. hali isiyoweza kutegemewa, alianzisha makao yake makuu karibu maili mia mbili zaidi upande wa kusini wa mto huo, mahali palipo umbali wa maili thelathini na tano kutoka Rovuma, ambao ni mpaka kati ya iliyokuwa Afrika Mashariki ya Wajerumani na Wareno.

Hata katika kampeni hii, ikumbukwe, ushawishi wa nguvu ya bahari ya Uingereza ulijifanya kuhisi, kwa kuwa ingawa vifaa vingine vinajulikana kuwa vilimfikia adui licha ya kizuizi cha majini, amri ya bahari iliwezesha jeshi la Jenerali Hannyngton. kuingizwa nyuma ya Wajerumani ...
Wakati huo huo, askari wa Ubelgiji kutoka Kongo 109walikuwa wakisonga mbele kuelekea kusini-mashariki, huku lengo lao likiwa ni Mahenge mara moja,—Mahenge ikiwa ni sehemu muhimu, maili mia mbili kuelekea magharibi mwa Kilwa, kwenye barabara kuu ipitayo kaskazini na kusini kutoka Songia hadi Kilossa Dar-es- Reli ya Salaam-Ziwa Tanganyika.
