The German colonial history in the East African country has been one of shame and brutality.

According to official records, 300,000 Tanzanians were eliminated in just two years (1905-1907) during the Maji-Maji Rebellion.

The German colonizers took thousands of human skulls to Germany for racist research and trophies.
