South Africa was granted dominion status in 1910 thus had the same level of independence as Canada and Australia at that time. Thus in 1914, it should be considered independent not a colony.

Rwanda was actually first colonized by Germany, it was only handed over to Belgium after World War 1 :)

Cameroon was probably the trickiest but I believe one of the reasons Spain didn't join the Axis was due to a dispute over who could own Cameroon.
