Germany Expansion

Germany Expansion refers to the historical period when Germany sought to expand its territory and influence beyond its borders. This term is commonly associated with the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during which Germany underwent rapid industrialization and emerged as a major European power. The expansionist policies pursued by Germany during this time included territorial acquisitions, such as the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine and the establishment of colonies in Africa and the Pacific. Germany’s expansionist ambitions ultimately played a significant role in the outbreak of World War I and shaped the geopolitical landscape of Europe.
