World War I expanded to Asia, Africa, and the Pacific for several reasons. For one, the countries involved in World War 1 has colonies in Asia and Africa. This included Tanganyika, which was under German rule. In addition to German East Africa, the British governed Hong Kong, which was physically located within China. To protect their respective colonies, the nations involved had no choice but to bring the war to these areas.

The Rise of Nations.
Historically, many European nations had colonies in Africa. However, Europe never "owned" the continent.
This practice of having colonies was called Imperialism and there were several reasons for it. This was durinbg the time of industrialization, when nations were building factories and mass-producing things. Colonies were a way to get cheap natural resources and cheap labor. They also created new markets for selling the things that the factories produced. More than just an econimic issue, colonies were a badge of status. The more colonies a nation had, the more powerful it was. It was basically a competition between the nations.
If Europe has African colonies, they are obviously going to want military there for many reasons.
It is commonly described as "the age of Imperialism".

The colonies of Africa and Asia belonged to the nations fighting WWI. Naturally, those colonies aided their mother country on the path to Victory. Also, some colonies (such as German Tanganyika) had soldiers stationed in the region. They fought and invaded their enemy's colonies and colonial forces.
Many settled in modern-day South Africa, Angola, Namibia, Madagascar, Botswana, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and Senegal. These nations still retain considerable white populations.
It's hard to say. Many nations/colonies/shipbuilders sent ships to Africa, so there's not a definite answer.
