How many colonies did Germany have?

Answer 1

At its height, Germany had a number of colonies primarily in Africa and the Pacific, totaling around 13 distinct territories. Notable colonies included German East Africa (now Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi), German Southwest Africa (now Namibia), and various Pacific islands like the Mariana and Caroline Islands. Germany's colonial empire was relatively short-lived, lasting from the late 19th century until the end of World War I, after which it lost its colonies as a result of the Treaty of Versailles.
