Detailed explanation-1: -World War I was one of the great watersheds of 20th-century geopolitical history. It led to the fall of four great imperial dynasties (in Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey), resulted in the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and, in its destabilization of European society, laid the groundwork for World War II.
Detailed explanation-2: -Germany lost control of most of its colonial empire at the beginning of the First World War in 1914, but some German forces held out in German East Africa until the end of the war. After the German defeat in World War I, Germany’s colonial empire was officially dissolved with the Treaty of Versailles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Outside Europe, Germany lost all its colonies. In sum, Germany forfeited 13 percent of its European territory (more than 27, 000 square miles) and one-tenth of its population (between 6.5 and 7 million people).
Detailed explanation-4: -German Southwest Africa went to the Union of South Africa as a mandate rather than an outright annexation as the South Africans preferred. German East Africa, which had suffered so much in the war, now proved a contentious prize. British interests dominated and most of the colony went to Britain as a mandate.
