This paper makes an essential contribution by arguing that shifts in German colonial educational policy, which continued under British control, consistently favoured the spread of Christianity over Islam in Tanganyika. The paper also looks at how the two colonial powers used Article 6 of the Berlin Act 1884–1885, Article 438 of the Versailles Treaty, and Article 22 of the League of Nations Covenant, as well as Command Paper No. 2374 of I925 that emphasised the protection of Christian missionaries and the provision of education by missionaries across British colonies in Africa. The aforementioned articles established colonial state-missionary partnerships and provided security to missionaries. The colonial authority’s protection of missionaries was essential to investing in the education sector, which became a centre for the spread of Christianity in the country. As a result, the spread of Christianity throughout the territory accelerated. The paper relies heavily on secondary and primary sources for this analysis.

殖民国家在坦噶尼喀殖民地基督教传播和加强中的作用，约 1890 年至 1961 年

本文做出了重要贡献，认为德国殖民教育政策的转变（在英国的控制下持续存在）始终有利于基督教在坦噶尼喀的传播，而不是伊斯兰教。本文还探讨了两个殖民国家如何使用《1884-1885 年柏林文本》第 6 条、《凡尔赛条约》第 438 条、《国际联盟盟约》第 22 条，以及 1925 年第 2374 号命令文件，其中强调保护基督教传教士并由传教士在非洲的英国殖民地提供教育。上述条款建立了殖民地国家与传教士的伙伴关系，并为传教士提供了安全保障。殖民当局对传教士的保护对于教育部门的投资至关重要，教育部门成为基督教在该国传播的中心。结果，基督教在全境的传播加速了。本文的分析在很大程度上依赖于二手和一手资料。
