"What is East Africa trying to do?" Prime Minister Bannerman of Britain said. He was extremely sensitive to East Africa's recent activity in the international community.
Not long ago, the so-called Kingdom of Southern Germany had invaded the Komadugu Yobe River Basin in Nigeria's Northwest Region.
Britain blamed East Africa for this act of war by the Kingdom of Southern Germany. After all, the so-called Kingdom of Southern Germany was a "puppet" regime propped up by East Africa, and many British people saw its military actions as East Africa testing Britain.
