معاهدة هليگولاند-زنزبار
معاهدة هليگولاند-زنزبار (بالألمانية: Helgoland-Sansibar-Vertrag؛ بالإنگليزية: Heligoland–Zanzibar Treaty؛ وتُعهد أيضاً بإسم الاتفاقية الألمانية الإنجليزية 1890) was an agreement signed on 1 July 1890 between the German Empire and the United Kingdom. Germany gained the small but strategic هليگولاند archipelago, which its new navy needed to control the new Kiel Canal and the approaches to Germany's North Sea ports. In exchange, Germany gave up its rights في منطقة زنزبار في أفريقيا، allowing Zanzibar to provide a key link in the British control of East Africa.
البنود
حصلت ألمانيا على جزر هليگولاند (بالألمانية: Helgoland) في بحر الشمال، التي كانت أصلاً جزء من هولشتاين-گوتورپ الدنماركية ولكن منذ 1814 أصبحت مِلك بريطانيا، وما يسمى قطاع كاپريڤي في ما الآن ناميبيا، وأطلقت يدها للسيطرة والاستحواذ على ساحل دار السلام الذي سيشكل لب شرق أفريقيا الألماني (لاحقاً Tanganyika, now the mainland component of Tanzania).
العواقب
The misleading name for the treaty was introduced by ex-Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who intended to attack his despised successor Caprivi for concluding an agreement that Bismarck himself had arranged during his incumbency. However, Bismarck's nomenclature implied that Germany had swapped an African empire for tiny Heligoland ("trousers for a button"). This was eagerly adopted by imperialists, who complained about treason against German interests. Carl Peters and Alfred Hugenberg appealed for the foundation of the Alldeutscher Verband which took place in 1891.
