Abstract

Colonialism and imperialism are important topics in the study of modern history. Germany as a nation joined the colonial race relatively late, in the late 1800’s. It had a relatively short history of colonialism ending with the end of World War I, in 1916. Because of this short history, the discussion of colonialism often focuses very little attention on Germany’s colonies and on Germany’s role in colonialism. One area that receives very little attention is the German colony of Samoa, which Germany held as a colony for nearly twenty years.
