German Colonization Past And Future - The Truth About The German Colonies
By Dr Heinrich Schnee
Published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd: London 1926 1st Edition

" Dr. Heinrich Schnee's German Colonization Past and Future - The Truth About the German Colonies (1926) presents a defense of Germany's colonial rule and argues for the restoration of its former colonies, which were taken away after World War I under the Treaty of Versailles. Schnee, the last governor of German East Africa, claims that German colonial administration was humane, efficient, and beneficial to indigenous populations. He contrasts German rule with that of other colonial powers, arguing that Germany was unfairly treated and that its colonies were wrongfully seized. The book seeks to refute allegations of German mistreatment of native populations and emphasizes the economic and strategic importance of colonial possessions for Germany's future.

Schnee frames his argument within the broader nationalist movement of the 1920s, appealing to German pride and the perceived injustices inflicted upon the country after the war. He asserts that the loss of the colonies was not only a territorial and economic setback but also a moral wrong that needed rectification. The book serves as a propaganda tool, advocating for Germany's return to the colonial arena and laying the groundwork for expansionist ambitions in the interwar period. Schnee's work reflects the widespread revisionist sentiment in Germany at the time, seeking to overturn the postwar settlement and restore the nation's status as a global power."
