During the time of the German Empire, much of current day Poland and Denmark was German territory. Germany also owned some current day areas of France.
Overseas, Germany ruled Togo (which they named Togland), Rwanda, Tanganyika, Wituland, Kamerun and many other lands in South-West, Eastern and Western Africa. Germany also ruled Western Indonesia, small areas of China and even some of Antarctica.
Much territory ruled by Germany was conquered in the first weeks of World War I, by Kaiser Wilhelm II. At the end of World War I, the Treaty of Versailles stripped Germany of all of its overseas colonies, making them into British and French "mandates" until they were ready for independence. Germany also lost many European territory due to the Treaty of Versailles.
