German East Africa (German: Deutsch-Ostafrika)   was a German colony in East Africa, including what are now Burundi,   Rwanda and Tanganyika (the mainland part of present Tanzania). It   measured 994,996 km² (384,170 square miles) in size, nearly three times   the size of re-united Germany today.

The colony came into existence during the 1880s and   ended with the conclusion of World War I, when the territory was taken   over by the British and Belgians and later converted to mandates of the   League of Nations.
