measures were essential
, we've got The measures were essential as Nyasaland was a key route to supply and reinforce British forces in East Africa. I can't easily get to the source -- they were considered essential by whom? Not, I would assume, the people of Nyasaland? :D —valereee (talk) 18:55, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi —valereee, good point. I've reworded this section to make it clearer (the source doesn't attribute "essential" to anyone but makes it clear that Nyasaland was a key route) - Dumelow (talk) 07:53, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
