Best Answer

After WW1 the League of Nations (the "old UN") laid down arrangements for German Colonies to be allotted to other states as mandates, making the state responsible for fair governments and the mandate to develop and form it's own state.

The former German colonies of German East Africa, Togoland and Cameroons were given the Trusteeship status. Britain was given Tanganykia, France the Togoland and the Cameroons and Belgium was given Ruanda-Urundi a.k.a. Rwanda-Burundi. The African lands were put under the charge of the three countries and the countries were supposed to help the mandates with economic, social or political problems.

The countries which were allocated lands, were to report every year to the League, but the reports were often skipped or ignored as the Mandates Commission had very limited powers.
