  • The Battle of the Rufiji Delta was fought in German East Africa from Oct 1914 – Jul 1915 between a powerful German cruiser, it's support ships and a group of British warships. The battle was a series of attempts to sink the blockaded German ships and eventually resulted in their destruction or scuttling. The battle left the British as the strongest power in the Indian Ocean but also strengthened German land forces in the area as they made use of the surviving crew and guns from the cruiser.
