This nigga fought a guerilla campaign against the allies in German Ost-Afrika and held out for the entire war. He was also known for being unusually decent to native troops and civilians (by the standards of the time), compared to the British and Belgians who were complete cunts in comparison.

Also the British lugged two gunboats through the jungle just to fight the German navy on Lake Tanganyika.

>Paul Vot Lettow Vorbeck fought until a few days after the war ended in a guerrilla campaign in German Tanganyka
>Kamerun theatre which was surprisingly drawn out
>A South African boer revolt occured and was fought between the rebellion and British
>Namibia was invaded by South Africa and Britain
>Italy thought a ottoman backed group and also Ottomans in Libya
>Colonial African troops

Overall not one the major theatres but quite a bit did happen.

He may not have been bad in the hand chopping sense, but his bullshit guerrilla campaign led to famine and subsequent disease that wiped out between 10 and 20% of his own colonies population.
