Could be possible, but if this is for your history class, I would only care about why Mexico is important in the war (I.e, Zimmerman Telegraph)

Also, for the African Front:

German Colonial Fronts:

Togo: Germans only had ~500 men, mostly African recruits. The Entente wanted to gain control of the radio station at Kamina, which was currently under construction. Following the capture of the colonial capital of Lome, the Germans burnt the radio station to the ground to prevent its capture. Togo fell very quickly in 1914.

Namibia: The Germans had a purely defensive mindset, not even trying to take the isolated British port of Walvis Bay. Following the denial of a German request for military access through Portuguese colonies, the Germans in Namibia invaded Portuguese Angola in late 1914 before being repulsed. Portugal remained neutral until 1916 despite this. The Germans aided the Boers form Namibia, and the colony fell by 1915.

Kamerun (Cameroon): The Germans held out for quite a while, launching raids into British Nigeria, but ultimately were forced to surrender by 1916. I dont know as much about this front as I do the other African theaters of war, so you may want to look more into this.

German East Africa (Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi): The Germans, led by famous commander Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, initially took an offensive mindset, by attacking British forces. This worked for a while until 1916, when the British brought in artillery, the colonial troops from Cameroon and Namibia were brought in, and Lettow-Vorbeck was running out of supplies and men. So Lettow-Vorbeck began a campaign of guerrilla warfare in the East African jungle, with his guerrilla campaign being the most successful in history according to historians. Lettow-Vorbeck began launching raids into Portuguese Mozambique and British Rhodesia by 1917 in order to gain supplies, and held out until November of 1918, when he had to surrender due to sheer lack of supplies and manpower. The East African campaign was the longest campaign in WWI, with the campaign lasting well after the armistice was signed. Most of Lettow-Vorbeck's men were Askari soldiers.

Other African Fronts:

Libyan Front: Following Italy's entry into the war, the Senussi tribe, which was already fighting against the Italians since the Italo-Turkish Wars, began being funded by the Central Powers. The Senussi launched raids into British Egypt and continued their resistance against the Italian colonial administration. Their resistance would continue well after WWI.

Dervish Campaign: In Somalia, the Dervish were Somali warriors fighting agains the British and Italian colonial administration. They also received aid from the Central Powers. This campaign also continued after the war ended.

Suez Campaign: In 1915, the Ottomans tried to take the Suez Canal with German help. They were repulsed by Indian troops and the Turks never pushed on Egypt again.

5 Meters is for wimps, come to Buffalo.
