German East Africa was taken away from Germany at the end of World War I by a treaty in 1919. This was essentially a kind of war reparations for German aggression in the World War. All German colonies and possessions in Africa were taken away under a League of Nations mandate and were then administered by Britain, Belgium and France. All of these territories would eventually win independence and became parts of present day Tanzania, Burundi, etc.
