Conflicts with Native Africans and Germans occured quickly after the Germans arrival. Germany forced unfair laws on local people. Many were forced to work almost like slaves. The africans didn't like this and one Tribe leader stated " I have listened to your rules but can find no reason to why I should obey you- I would rather die first...I look for some reason why I should obey you and find not the smallest". They also changed their culture by westernizing them through clothing, religion, and food. Germans also ruled by military force using superior weaponry to scare and kill africans.
