Re: countries and maps of Battlefield 1
"The Lion of Africa" fan proposed DLC was inspired by two facts of the BF1 loading screen?
Here is the description of the fictive "The Lion of Africa" DLC:
https://battlefieldfanfiction.fandom.com/wiki/BF1:_The_Lion_of_Africa
The Lion of Africa is a fan proposed Battlefield 1 DLC based on the African front of the First World War, including the Battle of Lake Tanganyika and the exploits of Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck, the German master of guerilla of warfare also known as "The Lion of Africa".
first fact of the BF1 loading screen:
A small group of German soldiers under General Von Lettow-Vorbeck fought a guerilla war in German East Africa against Allied forces. They held out for the entire duration of the war.
second fact:
The British Army transported two boats through the jungle to fight the Germans on Lake Tanganyika.
I think the Battle for Lake Tanganyika was made famous by the movie "The African Queen" (or probably the "Jungle Cruise")
Battle for Lake Tanganyika
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Lake_Tanganyika
The Battle for Lake Tanganyika was a series of naval engagements that took place between elements of the Royal Navy, Force Publique and the Kaiserliche Marine between December 1915 and July 1916, during the First World War. The intention was to secure control of the strategically important Lake Tanganyika, which had been dominated by German naval units since the beginning of the war. The British forces – consisting of two motor boats named HMS Mimi and Toutou – were under the command of the eccentric Lieutenant-Commander Geoffrey Spicer-Simson. The boats were transported to South Africa and from there by railway, by river, and by being dragged through the African jungle, to the lake.
