In German East Africa, Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck took a force that never exceeded about fourteen thousand men, most of them African soldiers called askari, and marched it for four years across East Africa, Mozambique and Northern Rhodesia.
He surrendered on the twenty-fifth of November 1918, a fortnight after the armistice in Europe, and he surrendered undefeated. He also changed nothing about the war, and the campaign he fought consumed an enormous number of African porters, conscripted by both sides and counted carefully by neither. At Versailles the whole question was settled in one article. Article one hundred and nineteen required Germany to renounce every right over its overseas possessions. They were not returned to the people who lived in them. They were handed to Britain, France, Belgium, South Africa and Portugal as League of Nations mandates, which meant the same territories under different flags.
