Final answer:

The countries that gained and lost territory from 1914 to 1919 are listed. Germany experienced significant territorial losses and had to give up its colonies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The countries that gained and lost territory from 1914 to 1919 can be listed in two columns:



Gained:



  1. France (Alsace-Lorraine)
  2. Belgium (western territory)
  3. Poland (German lands and the port of Danzig)
  4. Lithuania
  5. Czechoslovakia



Lost:



  1. Germany (shrunk and lost 13% of territory in Europe)
  2. Germany (lost western territory to France and Belgium)
  3. Germany (lost colonies in Asia and Africa)



These changes occurred as a result of the Treaty of Versailles and other post-WWI treaties, which redrew the map of Europe and redistributed colonies. Germany, in particular, experienced significant territorial losses and had to give up its colonies.
