5th Great War Africa Conference (The National Archives, Kew, London, 3-4 May 2016)

1916 was a significant year in the Great War. In Europe it was the year of the Somme and Gallipoli. In Africa it was the year of Salaita and the British allied invasion into German East Africa, the loss of Cameroon to the Allies and the subsequent use of West African forces in East Africa. South African forces detoured via Egypt en route to the Somme and in Ethiopia Menelik was deposed.
It therefore seems fitting to explore how those living in Africa experienced the war, both in their own land and elsewhere.

Appel à communication, pour mémoire.
