During World War II, the period in which Germany took over the most territory was quite clearly 1941. In this year, German forces occupied Yugoslavia and Greece in the Balkans before sweeping into the Soviet Union in a massive attack that left them, at the end of the year, in possession of Soviet territory stretching from Leningrad in the north to Rostov in the south.

After world war one countries from all over the world held a peace conference in paris. (Germany was not invited) the countries decided that it was Germany's fault for causing WW1 and they had caused the most damage during this period. they then forced Germany to sign the treaty of Versailles. in this document it said that Germany must pay reparations for their actions etc.
In the first world war France and Germany were fighting over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
I am assuming you mean the surrender of Russia in World War I. In WWI, the Russian Empire was at war with Germany. When the Red Russians took over, the new government surrendered to Germany in order to devote more resources to building their new nation. The primary benefit of the withdrawal of Russia to Germany was the elimination of an entire front, allowing Germany to concentrate more on its Western enemies. As part of the treaty (Treaty of Brest-Litovsk--), however, Germany also gained much territory (with its population, natural resources, etc.)
France gained the provinces called Alsace and Lorraine. They originally were a part of France, but then the Germans took over the provinces during the Franco-Prussian War before World War I. After World War I, France gained them back.
Yes, it was fought in North Africa. Because that was British territory. General Erwin Rommel, one of Hitler's best generals was sent over and he held the territory for quite a long time. Until Britain, sent their most skilled general over and defeated Rommel. Rommel surrendered. The yeah, the Middle East has experienced war before.
