The siege of Toma was a bloodless action during the First World War on the island of New Pomerania (now New Britain) between 14 and 17 September 1914 as part of the occupation of German New Guinea by the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force (AN&MEF). Australian forces had been dispatched to seize and destroy German wireless stations in the south-west Pacific because they were used by the German East Asian Cruiser Squadron of Vice-Admiral Maximilian von Spee which threatened merchant shipping in the region. New Zealand provided a similar force for the occupation of German Samoa. Ultimately the German colonial government was forced to surrender after being surrounded, ending the last significant resistance in the territory.

  • Осада Томы (англ. Siege of Toma) на острове Новая Померания (ныне Новая Британия) 14-17 сентября 1914 года, является завершающим эпизодом оккупации Германской Новой Гвинеи Австралийским экспедиционным корпусом. Австралийские войска были отправлены для захвата и уничтожения немецких беспроводных радиостанций в юго-западной части Тихого океана, так как они использовались Германской Восточно-Азиатской крейсерской эскадрой вице-адмирала Максимилиана фон Шпее, угрожавшей торговому судоходству в регионе. В конечном итоге германское колониальное правительство было вынуждено сдаться, закончив тем самым боевые действия на территории Новой Британии. (ru)
