The Germans are often portrayed to the only losers of World War II, while all the remaining countries of Europe (and the world) gained more territory. Did this really happen to Germany?

When Germany existed in form of the Holy Roman Empire, its territory was much larger. However, since the 19th century, the country lost more and more territory. As Napoleon occupied the Empire, he also ended the Empire and instead made a bunch of German territories to French vassal states. So the Congress of Vienna had much smaller territory to recreate the German territories and instead made them into individual states. So we lost territory. All of a sudden we were conquered by France once more, and lost a much of land to Belgium and France. But we still gained more territory by becoming a unified nation. But to show our new strength, we fought two wars with Denmark and won the war and took some of their territories. We started to form a colonial empire, but much smaller than the other colonial powers like France and Britain. But we still lost more territory by having to give some land to Belgium. So no we decided to conquer the world. And to show our new strength we fought two much stronger nations and lost the war and lost almost all of our territory we had yet accumulated. But we only gained a few territories in the end. So the war was a failure and we lost more of our territory. So we had to fight another war and still lost more territory. But we were able to regain almost all of the territories we lost yet. But to show our new strength we fought two much stronger nations and lost the war and lost much more territory than we had accumulated. Also we were cut in half and still to this day we have a small territory.
