TANZANIA - GERMAN EAST AFRICA under Wilhelm II (1888-1918) 15 Gold elephant rupees 1916 T = Tabora. (7,50 g) Rare. T.B. A somewhat crude emergency mintage by German troops facing an alliance of British and Belgian troops. A monetary workshop was set up in Tabora, now Tanzania, in a railway carriage, and only 9803 examples were minted. German East Africa was a German colony that extended over present-day Burundi, Rwanda and mainland Tanzania. Created in the 1880s, it was conquered by the British and Belgian armies during the First World War and fragmented at the end of the war into Ruanda-Urundi (Belgian Colonial Empire) and Tanganyika (British Empire). From a strategic point of view, although the Germans continued to fight until November 1918, the British controlled the towns of Dar es Salam and Tanga on the coast, and Tabora inland from March 1916, with Tanga not falling until July. At the same time, the entire railroad was under British control. By mid-1916, the almost defeated Germans were committing only guerrilla warfare in very isolated and unstrategic areas. The Treaty of Versailles divides up the German colony. Belgium receives Ruanda-Urundi and, in addition, the concession of a railroad line from the Belgian Congo to East Africa, through the former German colony to a free port on the Indian Ocean. Portugal obtained the Quionga triangle to the south of Rovuma, attached to present-day Mozambique, and Great Britain inherited the rest, i.e. the territory of present-day Tanzania, which it named Tanganyika, but without the archipelago of Zanzibar, which was given the status of a British protectorate.
