Detailed explanation-1: -The German empire in the Pacific came to a sudden end following the outbreak of World War I in 1914. In August New Zealand troops landed on Samoa and the Germans capitulated without resistance. In German New Guinea there was fighting, but Australian troops gained control in September.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Post-war Settlement and the Pacific Islands↑ German Samoa became a New Zealand mandate, and Japan was awarded the mandate of the former German colonies north of the Equator, namely the Mariana, Caroline, and Marshall Islands. The Pacific Islands remained in the hands of those nations until World War II.
Detailed explanation-3: -When war broke out in Europe in August 1914, Britain asked New Zealand to seize German Samoa as a ‘great and urgent Imperial service’. New Zealand’s response was swift. Led by Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Logan, the 1400-strong Samoa Advance Party of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force landed at Apia on 29 August.
Detailed explanation-4: -Imperial German Pacific protectorates By the German–Spanish Treaty of 1899, Germany bought from Spain the Caroline Islands and the Mariana Islands (excluding Guam, which had been ceded to the US after the 1898 Spanish–American War) for 25 million pesetas (equivalent to 16, 600, 000 goldmarks).
