The outbreak of World War I in Europe led to the increased popularity of German colonial expansion and the creation of a Deutsch-Mittelafrika ("German Central Africa") which would parallel a resurgent German Empire in Europe. Mittelafrika effectively involved the annexation of territory, mostly occupied by the Belgian Congo, in order to link the existing German colonies in East, South-west and West Africa. The territory would dominate central Africa and would make Germany as by far the most powerful colonial power on the African continent.Nevertheless, the German colonial military in Africa was weak, poorly equipped and widely dispersed. Although better trained and more experienced than their opponents, many of the German soldiers were reliant on weapons like the Model 1871 rifle which used obsolete black powder. At the same time, however, the militaries of the Allied powers were also encountering similar problems of poor equipment and low numbers; most colonial militaries were intended to serve as local paramilitary police to suppress resistance to colonial rule and were neither equipped nor structured to fight wars.

ドイツ領中央アフリカと、その軍力などについて説明しています。

＞The outbreak of World War I in Europe led to the increased popularity of German colonial expansion and the creation of a Deutsch-Mittelafrika ("German Central Africa") which would parallel a resurgent German Empire in Europe.

⇒ヨーロッパにおける第一次世界大戦の勃発は、ドイツ植民地の拡張と人口増加、および、ヨーロッパで再復興したドイツ帝国と並行するようにドイツ領中央アフリカ（ドイツ語表記-Mittelafrika）の創出を引き起こした。「中央アフリカ」は、既存の東・南西・西アフリカのドイツ植民地をつなぎ合わせるために、ほとんどベルギー領コンゴに占められていた領土を巧妙に併合した。

＞The territory would dominate central Africa and would make Germany as by far the most powerful colonial power on the African continent.Nevertheless, the German colonial military in Africa was weak, poorly equipped and widely dispersed. Although better trained and more experienced than their opponents, many of the German soldiers were reliant on weapons like the Model 1871 rifle which used obsolete black powder.
⇒この領土は中央アフリカを支配し、ドイツをしてずば抜けて強力なアフリカ大陸の植民地支配勢力にするものとした。それにもかかわらず、アフリカのドイツ植民地軍は弱く、装備も貧弱で、漫然と広域に分散していた。ドイツ兵士の多くはよりよく訓練されて、彼らの敵手（現地民）よりは経験豊かであるけれども、時代遅れの黒い火薬粉を使った1871年型のライフル銃などの武器に依存していた。

＞At the same time, however, the militaries of the Allied powers were also encountering similar problems of poor equipment and low numbers; most colonial militaries were intended to serve as local paramilitary police to suppress resistance to colonial rule and were neither equipped nor structured to fight wars.
⇒とはいえ、同時に、連合軍側の軍隊もまた、粗末な武器と少ない（銃器の）数量という、同様の問題に遭遇していた。ほとんどの植民地軍は、植民地支配に対する抵抗を抑制するために、地域の準軍事的警察としての服務を意図していたので、戦争をするための装備はなく、組織隊として組まれてもいなかったのである。
