Answer
Although Lettow-Vorbeck and his men inflicted a lot of casualties on the British and caused a lot of damage to the British war effort, they never defeated the British Empire in a decisive battle. This was because the British had superior numbers and resources, and they were able to eventually wear down the Germans and force them to surrender.
