I have read that this cartridge was created for the use of settlers in German East Africa; true?
Yes, developed by the Berlin gunmaker Otto Bock in 1905. Quickly adopted by Mauser as a factory chambering. Similar to the then British medium bores, but without needing an expensive Magnum length action.
