Best Answer

German acquired an overseas colonial empire in the 1880. The most important colonies were German South-West Africa (modern Namibia) and German East Africa )corresponds roughly to modern Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi). All these colonies were lost in World War 1. However, the real dream of German imperialists, from about 1890 on, was a vast empire in Europe.
