Most of Africa was colonies of one European nation or another during the war. The German Empire had a few African colonies, such as German East Africa. But Germany's opponents had a lot more, France, Great Britain, Italy and Belgium. Portugal had a few colonies in Africa too. French Colonial troops, such as the Senegalese, fought on the western front, in the trenches.
