Germany had inherited a large portion of Africa following the central powers victory during the war, and what did they decide to do with it? Immediately announce an era of transition from colonial rule to local independent governance.
How was this possible, and when would it be achieved? Through much effort to leave a semi-functional state in their departure, basic education of how to maintain what was left behind, and a how to guide on ruling a semi-modern nation was a good start.
As for the second question, the answer to this was somewhere between five and twenty-five years.. The period was to be determined, as the Germans tried their best to help the locals, who had never crafted a functional and lasting civilization fill the gaps in their limited understanding of governance.
