Germany used to be a huge country (compared to other European countries). It nearly had double the size of what it has today.
Countries like: Poland, Czech Rep., Lithuania, parts of Slovakia and the Ukraine were a part of the "Norddeutsche Bund" (around 1867). The after founded German Empire (1871-1918) had a size of 540.858 km². After the "Novemberevolution" and the end of WW1 the Weimar Republic was founded, a country with a size of 468.787 km². Later in 1933 Hitler became powerful and he started to invade Europe and Germany became the "Großdeutsche Reich" with an size of 633.786 km². After 1945 Germany was split and was reunited in 1989. Today Germany has a size of 357.121,41 km².
So to simplify: War was the reason why Germany lost national territory.
