Malo agha ghakaŵako mu ma 1880, apo ŵasilikari ŵa ku Germany ŵakapempheka kuti ŵakome ŵanthu awo ŵakagalukira kampani ya German East Africa Company. Nkhondo iyi yikamara apo ufumu wa Germany ukathereskeka pa Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose. Paumaliro, GEA yikagaŵika pakati pa Britain, Belgium, na Portugal, ndipo yikanozgekaso kuti yiŵe pasi pa League of Nations.

## Mbili

Nga umo vikaŵira na maboma ghanyake agho ghakaŵa na mazaza pa charu ichi, Ŵachijeremani nawo ŵakamba kuthandazga ufumu wawo mu vigaŵa vya ku Africa uko kukaŵa nyanja zikuru. Mwakupambana na maufumu ghanyake gha ufumu, iwo ŵakamazga yayi wuzga panji malonda gha wuzga ndipo ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵaleke kupanga ŵanthu ŵaphya.

Nkhondo iyi yikamba apo Carl Peters, uyo wakaŵa mupayiniya kweniso uyo wakambiska wupu wakuchemeka Society for German Colonization, wakalemba mapangano na ŵalongozgi ŵa ku malo agha. Pa Malichi 3, 1885, boma la Germany likapharazga kuti lapeleka chikalata cha ufumu, icho Chancellor Otto von Bismarck wakalemba pa Febuluwale 27, 1885. Kampani ya Peters yikapika wanangwa uwu kuti yikhazikiske boma lakunjilira mu vyaru vya ku Africa. Kufuma apo, Peters wakalemba ŵantchito awo ŵakamba kusanda kumwera kwa Mlonga wa Rufiji na kumpoto kwa Witu, kufupi na Lamu mumphepete mwa nyanja.

Fumu ya ku Zanzibar yikasuska ndipo yikati ndiyo ni fumu ya ku Zanzibar na ya ku charu chose. Kansela Bismarck wakatuma ngaraŵa zinkhondi izo zikafika pa Ogasiti 7, 1885. Sultan wakacicizgika kuzomera ivyo ŵa German ŵakayowoya kuti nchigaŵa ca ku caru cikuru ico cikaŵa kutali comene na nyanja. Mu Novembala 1886, Germany na Britain ŵakakolerana kuti ŵapulikirenge ivyo Sultan wa ku Zanzibar wakayowoya. Ŵangelezi na Ŵachijeremani ŵakakolerana kuti ŵagaŵane caru pakati pawo, ndipo Sultan wakaŵavya cinyake cakucita kweni kukolerana.

Mwaluŵiro Ŵachijeremani ŵakamba kulamulira ku Bagamoyo, Dar es Salaam, na Kilwa. Oscar Baumann wakatumika kukawona malo gha Masailand na Urundi. Apo wakendanga, wakasanga uko mlonga wa Kagera ukufuma. Makaravani gha Tom von Prince, Wilhelm Langheld, Emin Pasha, na Charles Stokes ghakatumika kuti ghakaŵe pa "Msewu wa Makaravani". Nkhondo ya Abushiri ya 1888 yikamara na wovwiri wa Britain. Mu 1890, London na Berlin ŵakadumura phangano la Heligoland na Zanzibar, ilo likapeleka Heligoland ku Germany na kudumura mphaka pakati pa GEA na East Africa Protectorate iyo yikalamuliranga na Britain, nangauli mphaka zaunenesko zikamanyikwa yayi mpaka mu 1910.

Pakati pa 1891 na 1894, ŵanthu ŵa Hehe awo ŵakalongozgekanga na Mulara Mkwawa ŵakakana kuti Ŵachijeremani ŵaŵawukire. Ŵakathereskeka cifukwa cakuti mafuko ghanyake ghakatolera Ŵajeremani. Pakati pajumpha vilimika vinandi, Mkwawa wakafwa ndipo wakajikoma mu 1898.

Kuwukira kwa Maji kukacitika mu 1905 ndipo kukalekeka na Kazembe Gustav Adolf von Götzen, uyo wakalangura kuti paŵe njara. Vingaŵa kuti ŵanthu 300,000 ŵakafwa. Pamanyuma pake pakaŵa nkhani ya vimbundi na nkhaza. Mu 1907, Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow wakasora Bernhard Dernburg kuti wasinthe vinthu mu boma.

Ŵalongozgi ŵa boma la Germany ŵakathembanga chomene ŵalongozgi ŵa ku malo agha kuti ŵachitenge vinthu mwamahara na kupoka misonkho. Pa Janyuwale 1, 1914, ŵasilikari ŵa Schutztruppen (magulu ghakuvikilira) mu Dar es Salaam, Moshi, Iringa, na Mahenge ŵakaŵa na ŵasilikari Ŵachijeremani 110 (ŵakaŵapo ŵasilikari 42 ŵa munkhwala), ŵasilikari ŵa pasi pa 126, na Askari 2,472.

## Kukula kwachuma

Ŵachijeremani ŵakakhozga malonda na chuma. Malo ghakujumpha 40,000 ha ghakaŵa na vyakumera vya sisal. Makuni gha khofi ghakukwana mamiliyoni ghaŵiri ghakapandika, makuni gha ghamusi ghakakura pa malo ghakukwana mahekita 81,000, ndipo pakaŵa minda yikuruyikuru ya katoni.

Kwamba mu 1888, ŵakazenga sitima ya Usambara kufuma ku Tanga m'paka ku Moshi kuti ŵagulire vyakurya ivi. Central Railroad yikaŵa na mtunda wa makilomita 1,247 ndipo yikayaniskanga Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Tabora, na Kigoma. Mu Julayi 1914, ŵakamalizga kuzenga nthowa yakulongozgera ku nyanja ya Tanganyika. Ŵakazenga panji kunozga malo gha dowoko na magudumu gha magesi, njanji, na malo ghakusungiramo vinthu. Ku Tanga, Bagamoyo, na Lindi, ŵakazengaso malo ghanyake ghakusungirako ŵanthu. Pamanyuma pa 1891, boma la Germany likamba kunozga misewu iyo ŵanthu ŵakendangamo mu chigaŵa ichi pambere ŵanthu ŵa ku Europe ŵandafike mu charu ichi.

Mu 1912, ku Dar es Salaam na Tanga kukaŵa ngalaŵa za katundu na za ŵanthu 356, ndiposo ngalaŵa zakwenda pa nyanja zakujumpha 1,000 na ngalaŵa za malonda. Mu GEA yose, mukaŵa ŵanthu 3,579 ŵa ku Germany.

Mu nyengo yithu iyi, ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakamba kuguliska golide mu charu ichi mu nyengo iyo charu cha Germany chikalamuliranga charu ichi. Wupu wa Kironda-Goldminen-Gesellschaft ndiwo ukambiska migodi ya golide yakwamba mu charu ichi, ndipo yikamba kugwira ntchito mu 1909.

## Masambiro
Ku Germany, ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa ŵakasambizgikanga mu masukulu gha pulayimale, gha sekondale, na gha masukulu gha maluso. Mu 1924, pati pajumpha vilimika 10 kufuma apo Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose yikambira ndiposo vilimika vinkhondi na cimoza kufuma apo Britain yikambira kuwusa, Wupu wa Phelps-Stokes, uwo ukaŵa ku America, ukati: "Ŵajeremani ŵacita vinthu vyakuzizwiska comene pa nkhani ya masukulu. Pakwenera kujumpha nyengo yitali pambere masambiro ghaleke kuŵa nga umo ghakaŵira mu nyengo ya Ŵachijeremani".

Lizgu la Ciswahili lakuti shule, ilo likung'anamura sukulu, lili kufuma ku lizgu la Cigiriki lakuti Schule.

## Ŵanthu pa nyengo ya Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose
Mu cigaŵa ici mukaŵa ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 7.5 miliyoni. Pafupifupi 30% ŵakaŵa Ŵasilamu ndipo ŵanyake wose ŵakaŵa ŵa mafuko ghakupambanapambana panji Ŵakhristu awo ŵakazgoka Ŵakhristu. Mu 1913, mu cigaŵa ici mukaŵa ŵalimi na ŵalimi ŵa ku Germany 882. Ŵanthu pafupifupi 70,000 ŵa ku Africa ŵakagwiranga nchito mu minda ya GEA.

## Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose

Mulara wa ŵasilikari Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck wakateŵetera ku German South West Africa na Cameroon. Wakalongozga ŵasilikari ŵa Germany pa nkhondo yakwamba ya caru cose. Ŵasilikari ŵake ŵakaŵa 3,500 ŵa ku Europe na 12,000 ŵa ku Ascari na awo ŵakanyamuranga katundu.

Yumoza mwa nkhondo zikuru comene izo Lettow-Vorbeck wakathereska wakaŵa Nkhondo ya Tanga (3-5 November 1914). Mu nkhondo iyi ŵasilikari ŵa Germany ŵakathereska ŵasilikari ŵa Britain awo ŵakaŵa ŵanandi comene kuluska iwo.

Nkhondo iyo Lettow-Vorbeck wakachitanga yikapangiska kuti Britain yigeŵetere ndalama zinandi pa nkhondo iyi. Paumaliro, ŵasilikari ŵanandi, comenecomene ŵasilikari awo ŵakafuma ku Belgian Congo, ŵakamba kuwukira kumanjiliro gha dazi (nkhondo ya ku Tabora) kweniso katundu wakukwana yayi. Wakaluta kumwera ku Mozambique na ku Northern Rhodesia uko wakazomera kuti ŵaleke kuwukirana mazuŵa ghatatu nkhondo yati yamara.

Nkhondo yikati yamara, Lettow-Vorbeck wakacemeka yumoza wa vinkhara vya ku Germany. Gulu lake la ŵasilikari la Schutztruppe ndilo likaŵa lakwekha mu nyengo ya Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose ilo likathereskeka yayi.
