  • The Legacy of the German Language in Papua New Guinea T
    Craig Alan Voll<er The legacy of the German language in Papua New Guinea t. lntroduction' German colonial rule in the western Pacific began formally in 1884 when unbe- known to them, people in north-eastern New Guinea (Ifuiser Wilhelmsland), the archipelago around the Bismarck Sea, and in the next year, almost ali of neigh- boring Micronesia were proclaimed to be under German "protection". This act changed ways of living that had existed for tens of thousands of years and laid the foundation for what eventually became the modern state of Papua New Guinea. This proclamation was made in German, a language that was then unknown to Melanesians and Micronesians. Today the German language is again mostly unknown to most Melanesians and only a few visible traces of any German colonial legacy remain. There are no old colonial buildings, no monuments outside of a few small and almost hidden cemeteries, and no German Clubs or public signs in German. In this century there has not even been a German embassy. But it is impossible to step out in New Ireland (the former "Neu-Mecklenburg"), for example, without being con- fronted by a twenty-first century reality that is in part a creation of German col- onial rule. Species that were introduced by the Germans stiil retain their German name, frorn clover,I(lee in both German and the local Nalik language to pineap- ples (GermanAnanas / Nalik ananas). The best rural road in the country the Bulominski Highway was started by and named after the last German governor of Neu-Mecklenburg and a mountain range is known as the Schleinitz Range.

  • Were German Colonies Profitable?
    Were German colonies profitable? Marco Cokić BSc Economics 3rd year University College London Explore Econ Undergraduate Research Conference February 2020 Introduction In the era of colonialization, several, mainly European, powers tried to conquer areas very far away from their mainland, thereby creating multicontinental empires. One of these European powers was the German Empire which entered the game for colonies in the 1880s and was forced to leave it after World War I. Still, these involvements had a significant impact on several aspects of the German Empire. This essay discusses the question if the colonial policy of the German Empire until 1914 was an economic success. The reason for this approach is twofold. Firstly, economics can be seen as one of the main motivations of colonial policy (Blackbourn, 2003). Hence, looking at the economic results of this undertaking as a measure of success seems reasonable. Secondly, economic development can be measured relatively accurately and is a good proxy for defining success of the German colonial policy. Therefore, economic data will be used and tested against the economic hopes of advocates of colonialism during that period. The essay is split up into three main parts. In the first part, the historical background behind German colonialization and the colonies is introduced. After a brief explanation of the empirical strategy for this paper, data will be used to show if the German hopes were fulfilled. Theoretical background The German economy of the 1880s and German aims in the colonies In the 1880s, Germany was an economic leader. Several branches such as the chemical industry were worldwide leaders in their sectors and economic growth was, compared to other countries, very high (Tilly, 2010).

    Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Nathaniel Parker Weston A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Uta G. Poiger, Chair Vicente L. Rafael Lynn Thomas Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2012 Nathaniel Parker Weston University of Washington Abstract Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Nathaniel Parker Weston Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Uta G. Poiger This dissertation analyzes the impact of German anthropology and natural history on colonialism and nationalism in Germany, Spain, the Philippines, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth-century. In their scientific tracts, German authors rehearsed the construction of racial categories among colonized peoples in the years prior to the acquisition of formal colonies in Imperial Germany and portrayed their writings about Filipinos as superior to all that had been previously produced. Spanish writers subsequently translated several German studies to promote continued economic exploitation of the Philippines and uphold notions of Spaniards’ racial supremacy over Filipinos. However, Filipino authors also employed the translations, first to demand colonial reform and to examine civilizations in the Philippines before and after the arrival of the Spanish, and later to formulate nationalist arguments. By the 1880s, the writings of Filipino intellectuals found an audience in newly established German scientific associations, such as the German Society for Anthropology, Ethnology, and Prehistory, and German-language periodicals dealing with anthropology, ethnology, geography, and folklore.

Most of the people attending the Institute, including myself, were somewhat familiar with large repositories and their functioning; but few, if any, of the other participants had any knowledge of the conditions or collections ex­ isting in smaller developing areas. Consequently, the Institute examiners felt that this report, written as a course requirement, should be submitted for publication.

  • Protectorates and Twists: Law, History and the Annexation of German New Guinea P.G
    Protectorates and Twists: Law, History and the Annexation of German New Guinea P.G. Sack Senior Fellow, Australian National University Introduction The 'annexation' of German New Guinea is frequently mentioned in the rapidly growing body of - more of less 'scholarly' - literature on the history of the Southwest Pacific. There is, however, not a single detailed discussion. Moreover, a comparison between the available accounts discloses not only a surprising degree of vagueness and variation, but also an almost total lack of critical analysis. At first we may be tempted to put this down to a mixture of political prejudice and shoddy workmanship, but it soon becomes apparent that we are, in fact, confronted by the products of a much more general and complex process of ritualisation. There appears to be a universal assumption that an 'annexation' is a formal legal ballet, with a series of prescribed movements, whose actual performance can be taken for granted. Strictly speaking, so it seems, the 'annexation' of German New Guinea is a matter of law and not a matter of history, so that a historical account can and should do no more than to state that this legal event took place. On the other hand, an 'annexation' cannot simply be left as a black, legal hole: in the interests of a well-rounded narrative it must, at least, be covered with a heap of legal jargon and historical trimmings. This problem is doubtless one reason why the process of ritualisation in the accounts of 'annexation' of German New Guinea reaches peaks of surrealistic absurdity. Consider, for instance, the following passage from the Papua New Guinea Handbook, where history has become a petrified chant that has long lost any connection with reality:' "In October 1899, the Germans incorporated the Marianas, Carolines and Marshall Islands (the three groups [sic] of Micronesia) into the administra- tion [sic] and the following month, November 8, Bougainville and Buka were included as a result of an agreement with the U.S.

  • German Colonies in Asia and the Pacific: from Colonialism to Japanese Mandates, 1910-1929
    http://gdc.gale.com/archivesunbound/ EUROPEAN COLONIALISM IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY: GERMAN COLONIES IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC: FROM COLONIALISM TO JAPANESE MANDATES, 1910-1929 German Colonial aspirations in Asia and the Pacific ended with the start of the First World War. Japanese Army forces seized German leased territories in China and the Japanese naval forces occupied the German Pacific colonies. The Treaty of Versailles legitimized Japan’s aggression and the territories were officially mandated to the Japanese government. This collection comprises correspondence, studies and reports, cables, maps, and other kinds of documents related to U.S. consular activities. U.S. Consulates were listening posts reporting on the activities of the German colonial governments and later the Japanese mandate authorities, and the activities of the native peoples.

But a German colony in China was envisioned as a two-fold enterprise: to support a naval presence and that colonies were ideal to support the economy in the mother country. Densely populated China came into view as a potential market. Thinkers like Max Weber demanded an active colonial policy from the government.

Most of the men who came hungry for the gold were from Australia. They carried with them the skills to obtain it and the beliefs then common among Australian working men about foreigners and blacks. Most of the diggers believed that their guns and their brains made them superior to any ‘coloured’ men. Some also thought that they were physically superior, although that was harder to believe after 1902 when the first black American won a world boxing title.

  • 5. Freshwater Crustacea Decapoda of New Guinea L. B. Holthuis
    5. Freshwater Crustacea Decapoda of New Guinea L. B. Holthuis Although the Decapoda are the best known freshwater Crustacea of New Guinea, knowledge of their taxonomy, distribution and ecology is still very fragmentary, and a clear picture of their biogeography and ecology can not yet be given, but some interesting features can be observed. The Decapoda inhabiting the freshwaters of New Guinea belong to three distinct categories: (1) shrimps belonging to the families Atyidae and Palaemonidae, (2) crayfish of the family Parastacidae and (3) crabs of the families Sundathelphusidae, Grapsidae, and Hymenosomatidae. Of these 6 families only the Parastacidae and Sundathelphusidae are exclusively fresh- water inhabitants; the other families contain species that spend their entire life or part of it in the sea or in brackish water, the percentage of true freshwater species in each family is variable, being quite high in the Atyidae and extremely low in the Grapsidae. 1. Historical As late as the second half of the 19th century the first freshwater Decapoda were reported from New Guinea, when De Man (1879:167, 168) mentioned Palaemon Rosenbergii [ = Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879)] and Palaemon ornatus [ = Macrobrachium lar (Fabricius, 1798)] from Andai in the Vogelkop. Earlier in the same year De Man (1879a:63) mentioned the freshwater crab Parathelphusa convexa De Man, 1879, from New Guinea, but his material was incorrectly labelled and probably came from Java. The above shrimps of the genus Macrobrachium were collected at Andai by C. B. H. von Rosenberg.
