William Henry O'Swald's father was Johan Carl Heinrich Wilhelm O'Swald (1798–1859) a Prussian who in 1831 founded the company O'Swald & Co in Hamburg. In 1847 the company began trade with Zanzibar, Lagos and Palma. The main office was in Zanzibar. Particularly successful was "Kaurischneckenhandel", the use of Shell money for trade. Scarce in West Africa shells were purchased cheaply in the Seychelles where they were common and sold at great profit to African middlemen involved in the slave trade (Zanzibar was the main slave port in East Africa. The shell money was also currency in the to and fro trade of commodities and products, especially linen between Zanzibar and Hamburg. In 1849 the Company established further business links in Lagos, important for the oil trade and in 1853 O'Swald & Co. bought the Hamburg merchant Diederichsen's Lagos factory. Five years later in 1858 the older brother Percy O'Swald Albrecht (1831–1899) was made a Partner of O'Swald & Co and in 1859 he was followed by William O'Swald. In the following years, the brothers changed the management of the company each year, one living in Zanzibar, the other in Hamburg. In 1859 William O'Swald negotiated with Majid ibn Sa'id, the Sultan of Zanzibar, a commercial contract for the Hanseatic cities of Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen, which had great influence in interior eastern Africa. The Sultan and benefited personally and Zanzibar benefited from the resulting increased tax revenues. In the following years using his position as Honorary Consul in Zanzibar he established new branches of the company in Madagascar, the Somali Coast and the German Protectorate in East Africa. O'Swald was also "Präses" (a kind of minister) of the trade and shipping department of the city of Hamburg. He promoted Hamburgs colonial trade and established in 1886 the Hamburg section of the "Deutsche Kolonial-Gesellschaft" (German Colonial Society) and was elected as a member of the board of that organisation in Berlin. He had however no enthusiasm in colonial political affairs and often criticized the politics of "Deutsch Ostafrikanische Gesellschaft" (= German East Africa Company) of Karl Peters as did his friend, the Hamburg shipping magnate Johann Cesar VI. Godeffroy. ==See also== *German colonial empire 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Henry O'Swald」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
