Censored from world history by the victors. German colonies! Through World War One the German Reich (the 2nd!) lost not only its Kaiser but also its overseas colonies, as well as lands nearer to home. CHINA! Togo & Samoa! Cameroon & Namibia too! Not to mention Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda and Zanzibar! Also, the modern times U.S.A nuclear test zone, formerly known as paradise on earth a.k.a. The Marshall Islands, was a far healthier place under German rule.
These 1920 stamps also reveal erstwhile post offices in Morocco, and lands lost in Europe like Memel (Lithuania), Malmedy & Eupen (Belgium) Alsace & Lorraine (France) Upper Silesia & Posen (Poland) etc.
German colonies. The German empire, no more.
