During World War I, Germany had colonial possessions primarily in Africa and the Pacific. In Africa, Germany controlled territories such as German East Africa (present-day Tanzania, Burundi, and Rwanda), German Southwest Africa (now Namibia), and parts of Cameroon and Togo. In the Pacific, Germany held islands such as German New Guinea and several other territories, including the Marshall Islands and the Caroline Islands. After the war, these colonies were seized by Allied powers under the Treaty of Versailles.
During World War I, Japan began seizing German colonies in the Pacific. Following the outbreak of war in 1914, Japan declared war on Germany and quickly captured German-held territories, including the Mariana, Caroline, and Marshall Islands, as well as the German leased territory of Shandong in China. This expansion was part of Japan's broader strategy to assert its influence in the region.
