Colonial Society of the German Empire

The Colonial Society of the German Empire was an organization established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to promote and support Germany’s overseas colonial ambitions. It aimed to garner public interest, political backing, and investment for colonial expansion, particularly in Africa and the Pacific, reflecting Germany’s desire for economic resources, strategic influence, and national prestige. The society organized events, published materials, and lobbied policymakers to advance Germany’s colonial ambitions, playing a key role in shaping public opinion and governmental policy during the period of imperial expansion.
