Nice one, which were the overseas cities? I assume one was whatever small holdings from China? Not sure for the other one though, maybe Tanzania?

Qingdao and Tianjin (concession territory). Douala, Cameroon and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania were also really close to making the threshold by being barely under 20,000.

Always crazy to see that Dar es Salaam was smaller than some obscure German small town just 100 years ago

Subsaharan Africa was never really home to any extremely huge urban settlements (100,000 or higher, which was considered very big at the time) until perhaps around the late 19th century, when Ibadan in Nigeria first reached that mark. While the Swahili Coast was more developed than most of Subsaharan Africa, the largest city in the region at the time which was Zanzibar City is said to have had no more than 40,000 people living there at the time.
