All agreed. Remember, however, the issue was the question, rather, when the Meruberg (and the Karisimbi) became de facto and de jure part of Deutsch-Ostafrika, or even better: part of a German occupied territory.

Betreff: RE: [BoundaryPoint] High points

I would suggest that yes, it was also the view then. German possessions in Africa were never considered to be part of the nation of German, but simply possessions or colonies, AFAIK. -----Original Message----- From: Wolfgang Schaub [mailto:Wolfgang.Schaub@...] Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 1:07 AM To: BoundaryPoint@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BoundaryPoint] High points You all seem to hit the point: High points are flexible, depending upon our political definitions. And more: As much as I concur TODAY that the highest point in Germany was not in Africa, has this been the understanding in the 19th century as well? Wolfgang Yahoo! Groups Links
