we didnt want helgaland anyways, its full of krauts!!!!

also we conquered Namibia in world war one

How would you know?

>>25523543 >ask the locals >navigate the river >use Google Maps

Brits got the short stick on this trade. How does that make Germans the retards?

>The islands were historically possessions of Denmark, then became possessions of the United Kingdom from 1807 to 1890. Since 1890, they have been part of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, although they were managed by the United Kingdom as a war prize from 1945 to 1952 ehhh managed better

>>25523498 >Helgoland (in the North Sea) legit never heard of it

>>25523543 Mountains of Kong?!

The era of wooden ships was so based

>>25523607 It was used to smuggle goods into Europe. Later the Germans got it back and made a fortress out of it, then the Royal Air Force used it for target practice.

>>25523498 >OOK OOK ACK! >OOK OOK ACK! >OOK OOK ACK! >OOK OOK ACK! >OOK OOK ACK!

>>25523586 No https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heligoland%E2%80%93Zanzibar_Treaty?utm_source=chatgpt.com >>25523626 Retarded germ

>>25523620 yeah we BTFO napoleon bonerpants because he wanted to blockade us but we would just send our goods through helgaland it stopped being useful once France was neutralised as a threat in 1815

>>25523586 why would we want a shitty island full of germans? we already have one (england)

>>25523558 the portuguese were the first to learn that "namibia" is a fucking shithole where no white man may tread

>>25523498 >>in exchange for the island of Helgoland (in the North Sea), the British ceded this narrow strip of land to Germany Helgoland was ceded BY the British TO Germany, in exchange for Zanzibar.

>>25523498 if we had kept the colonies, we would have found a solution eventually we are not lazy Brits, dumbfunded by a waterfall

>>25523607 And 1947 half the island was literally blown away by the Brits.

>>25523659 the best thing that ever happened to it fuck that shithole and everyone on it

>>25523658 u wot m8 it was the portuguese who had first dibs there

>>25523631 >OOK OOK ACK!

>>25523667 I solve, m8. I am ze Germann. I find wheys.

What if they just wanted access to Victoria Falls because it's really pretty?

Africa is a real mess in terms of logistics. No good natural ports, tons of massive waterfalls, rapids everywhere, dangerous animals, warlords that demand bribes, corrupt officials, that disgusting tzeetze fly, malaria. It'll be a miracle if anyone can conquer even a fraction of it and modernize it beyond what crumbling first world infrastructure is based off of.

>>25523674 unfortunately the portuguese and spanish got to all the good places first :( look at how they destroyed south america

>>25523680 i mean, we did alright with Australia

>>25523692 >colony is a bigger authoritarian state than your own Yes your government and ancestors did a great job.

>the Germans believed the Zambezi River would provide a direct route to the Indian Ocean haha germans stoooopid i somehow doubt everything in OP

It is known that the Germans were amateur tier colonizers. Basically no good for Germany came out of their lame attempts.

namibia is one of the most successful african countries today though, no?

>>25523788 We gave them Ordnung and Infratructurings.

>>25523788 it is but thats mainly because no bantu or zulu niggers were to be found there (it was populated by the bushmen who are like pymgy niggers) and it was left alone by the papists it only got developed from the 1880s onwards and that was mainly German and British

>>25523802 I'm pretty sure South Africa held it for about twice as long as Germans ever did.

>>25523826 That just proofs how good german influence is

>>25523828 Undoubtedly.

>>25523802 I knew someone who went their for Entwicklungshilfe or something like that. Back then I wasn't aware of Bernd types, or incels, it was late 00s. Don't think he was very successful with women. Anyways he went there and came home with the most beautiful woman of Namibia. He also robbed Namibia of a nurse. I wonder where he is in life nowadays and how everything turned out for him.

>>25523828 If only Germans could influence their own country in the same way

>>25523897 German influence was really fine: the science, the ordnung, the literature, the education but it all went to shit after they went nuts about destroying the whole Europe

>>25523889 wow what a fascinating tale

>>25523951 You sound like a little bit jelly
