| COLONIAL ARMIES IN AFRICA 1850-1918 by Peter Abbott In the late 19th century, European-led columns began to fan out across the African continent defeating whatever forces were brought against them. The process began at different dates in different parts of the continent, but the main activity was in the two decades between 1881 and 1902, known as the ‘Scramble for Africa’. By 1914 the Europeans had overrun the greater part of the continent. As well as including an outline of the principal campaigns of the period, the author examines the structure, dress and armament of the colonial armies fielded by the Congo Free State, the Belgian Congo, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, and includes in his text an unprecedented amount of order of battle material.2006, Foundry Books, , 1901543072,< C-01>,Large format, 224pp, 229 drawings of soldiers, 60 other illustrations & maps, New in maroon boards with gilt titles., , Subject...Colonial & Other Wars - GeneralWeb No. 35061-01..............................£30.00 |
