Did Germany have a strong military before ww1?

Yes, Germany was the strongest European country before the war and after. In fact, it remains the strongest European nation to date. This is mainly due to the German economy, and not so much the German army. However, prior to and during World War I, the German army was considered the most powerful and the German navy was considered equal to the British.

What country lost access to the Mediterranean sea after World War 1?

The only country that I can think of that fits the description is the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Just before the war ended, the empire split into several smaller countries. Austria and Hungary became independent countries, and also became landlocked. Before its dissolution, the Empire had controlled the territory that is now Croatia and Bosnia, which gave it access to the sea.
