In 1884, [[Germany]] declared a protectorate over a strip of Togo's coast, and eventually spread its control inland. It was Germany's only self-supporting colony.
In the first month of [[World War I]], French and British troops invaded, and took the capital on August 26, 1914.<ref>World War I, by HP Willmott, Dorling Kindersley Publishing, 2003</ref>. After World War I, Togo was declared a mandate under French and British control.
