Never mind what that iteration of the Reich did in its African colonies.

Shall we talk about King Leopold and the Belgians in Africa?

At least he was punished by his own government for that. What the Second Reich did had to be corrected from the outside.

“Shall we talk about King Leopold and the Belgians in Africa? “

Or the Brits in India? The Brits in Malaya and Singapore? The French all over Africa and Indochina?
There’s an amazing disconnect going on here. The Germans were arguably the most civil of all the empire builders. Also they were late to the game.

This new competition is another reason the British wanted a war with Germany.
