War in Africa
Time: Monday Aug 10, 1914
Place: South Africa
Details: On 10 August, German forces in South-West Africa attacked South Africa; sporadic and fierce fighting continued for the rest of the war. The German colonial forces in German East Africa, led by Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, fought a guerrilla warfare campaign during World War I and only surrendered two weeks after the armistice took effect in Europe.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
