A few things about German colonies -
There was a third colony that was divided in two
mandates. German East Africa was divided in British
Tanganikya and Belgian Rwanda-Urundi. I find it
ironic that the much larger part actually joined with
another (albeit tiny) country to be what it is now
while the smaller part is now in two countries. I
don't really know how much internal autonomy, if any,
this areas had under Germany. By the way the British
part of Togo joined Ghana. By the way, the Cameroons
had a much more interesting shape until a big chunk
was ceded to French. Can't remember the exact year.
By the way, I found two more clickable sites that are
interesting, both in Scandinavia as the talk was about
those countries a few days ago.
http://www.kartta.nls.fi/index_e.html is a good site
for Finland, though you need to register. I believe
the registration is free (at least I am hoping such).
The other is
http://www.lantmateriet.se/ which has
both clickable orthophotos and maps. Here is a map of
Market from the Finnish site, though I dunno how legal
my sending this is.
