It was a German protectorate from 1900 to 1914, consisting of the islands of Upolu, Savai'i, Apolima and Manono. After 1920, the League of Nations gave it to England. After 1946, New Zealand administered it until independence in 1962. It is now part of Independent Samoa
New Zealand occcupied German Samoa at the start of WWII, as Western Samoa. In 1962 the island became independent and it dropped the word Western from its name in 1997.
China never had ownership or sovereignty over Samoa. Under the Tripartite Convention of 1899, the control of the islands was split between the US and the German Empire. The eastern islands remain a territory of the US, known as American Samoa. The western islands became German Samoa until World War I, thereafter the New Zealand protectorate called Western Samoa, and finally independent Samoa in 1962.
At the beginning of WW1 Samoa was called German Samoa and in the early days of the war it was occupied by New Zealand. At the begining of WW2 Samoa, then called Western Samoa was still under New Zealand's protection and allied itself with the allies.

They are the same in that Samoans in American Samoa and Samoa (once Western Samoa) have the same heritage. However, American Samoa is a US territory while Samoa is an independent nation. So they are in effect two different countries.
The German people took over the precious island of Samoa because the Germans were coming last of the war they had between the Germans and Samoa there were about 13,000 people died of the Germans and only around 400 people were died out of the Samoa.After the Germans lost they decide to put there flag up:( :( :( :(
