"Does Germany Need Colonies?" by Friedrich Fabri

Fabri gives reasons for why Germany needs colonies:
  • Germany needs sources of employment and export markets
  • Germany does not want to expand its power but sees colonization as both a national and moral duty
  • Germany should colonize in Central Africa, a huge territory where recent colonization by other nations has been a brilliant success
  • Germany should also look into colonization of Asia
  • Germany's colonial policy needs to be similar to the successful English model
  • Germany will have success in colonization because of its experience on the seas, industry and commerce skill, capability in agricultural colonization, and ample manpower
  • Colonization will benefit both the economy and national development
  • A new course of national development will move the national spirit in a new direction
  • Colonies will guarantee political success in the future
  • Germany must challenge England in colonization to prove their own political power
