At the Paris Peace Conference, where did Britain ask for control of former German colonies? Africa
After World War I, Britain acquired several territories from Germany primarily through the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. These included former German colonies in Africa, such as Tanganyika (part of present-day Tanzania), and parts of the German Empire in the Pacific, including the islands of Nauru and the Solomon Islands. Additionally, Britain gained control over the mandates in the Middle East, which included territories like Palestine and Iraq. Overall, Britain expanded its colonial holdings significantly as a result of the war.
Britain took control of Egypt in 1882 but then relinquished most control in 1992 by issuing Unilateral Declaration of Egyptian Independence. Britain still retained some control over its former protectorate, and Egypt officially declared its independence during the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.
