Colony "Deutsch-Ostafrika"
From the 1880s, private expeditions such as those of the "Gesellschaft für deutsche Kolonisation" (with Carl Peters) began to "acquire" land in East Africa. After the resistance of the East African coastal population (often still titled "Arab Revolt" in Germany) in 1888, the German Empire intervened and sent military support in the form of the "Imperial Protection Force for East Africa / kaiserliche Schutztruppe für Ostafrika" which violently put down the resistance.
