Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft

The Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft, or German Colonial Society, was established in 1887 to promote German colonization efforts in Africa and the Pacific. This organization aimed to support the German Empire's expansion by facilitating settlement, trade, and the establishment of colonies. It played a crucial role in the era of imperialism, advocating for German interests overseas. The society also engaged in discussions about the cultural and economic benefits of colonialism. However, its activities contributed to the exploitation and oppression of indigenous peoples during a time of racial and nationalist ideologies prevalent in Europe.
