German East Africa was originally a collection of warring african tribes. This was similar to much of Africa. Ethinic groups such as the Shambaa had a nomatic lifestyle. Very little agriculture was used. They often herded camels. Eventually the area was united under the Zanibar Arabs. The area transformed into a center of commerce. The first Europeans to settle there were originally the Portuguese. The Portuguese turned their attention toward the New World, and eventually left. The German later arrived and took control of the area.
