AH Challenge: German Kenya

Challenge is, accept it or not, is to have the German Empire receive Kenya and Uganda during the Scramble for Africa, and, like all of the other colonies, must be given up to the British after World War I.

I have no information, other than the Germans can seize territory from Zanzibar, and have it be given to them other than the British.

Thoughts anyone?
 
Well British Kenya was obtained because of its position as a good stopping point between India, so perhaps have Britain take Madagascar and use it instead, thus alowing Germany to take all of East Africa.

I was thinking of much the same thing after about 10 minutes of speed-research. Germany could have established forts and colonies from Mogadishu to Dar Es Salaam when they were going at Zanzibar, especially if Britain is colonising northern Madagascar.
 
The simplest way would be earlier German unification. If Germany unites in the 1848 revolution, there might be an earlier attempt to establish trading posts on the way to Asia. With Madagaskar, the smaller islands, Mocambique and South Africa already occupied, the Germans have to turn to Sansibar and surrounding areas.
 
Does Germany have to keep all her other OTL colonies?

If the Heligoland-Zanzibar swap falls through fori some reason, Germany may keep Uganda and "Witu", perhaps getting Herligoland later in exchange for German Samoa or maybe Luderitz.
