Germany gradually extended its control inland. They brought scientific cultivation to the country's main export crops ( Cacao , Coffee and Cotton ) and developed its infrastructure to one of the highest levels in Africa. Because it became Germany's only self-supporting Colony , Togoland was known as its model possession. This would last until the eruption of World War I . On August 26 1914 , Togoland was invaded by French and British forces and fell after five days of brief resistance. On December 27 1916 , Togoland was divided into French and British administrative zones. Following the war, Togoland formally became a League Of Nations Class B Mandate divided for administrative purposes into French Togoland and British Togoland . As a result, most of the territory formerly belonging to Togoland is now a part of Togo , with a small part transferred to Ghana . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
