The empires in the Middle East and North Africa in the late 1700s and early 1800s were centuries behind the Europeans in military technology. Early machine-guns called "Gatling Guns" would mow down thousands of musket-wielding Arabs. Each "battle" between the Europeans and the Arabs would be a massacre and so, many Arab states conceded defeat, like Egypt.
Other parts of the Middle East, like the Levant or Mesopotamia, were under Ottoman control and were acquired by the British and the French as a result of the Treaty of Versailles.

What was the political state of the middle east following the fall of the Abbasid empire and the fall of the Mongols?
The two empires did not fall simultaneously. The reason the Abbassid Caliphate fell in the Middle East was because the Mongol Empire defeated it and installed the Ikhanate. As a result, the political state of the Middle East following the fall of the Abbassids was the Ikhanate in most areas, the Mamluks in the Levant and Egypt, and the untouched Arabian Emirates (like the Sharifate of Mecca, the Emirates of the modern UAE, Oman, etc.) The fall of the Ikhanate in 1341 led to the development of many smaller piecemeal kingdoms throughout the former territories of the Ikhanate. The smaller states in Persia were conquered relatively quickly by the Timurids of Transoxiana. Elsewhere in the Middle East, these smaller states would later be conquered by the Ottoman Empire. The Mamluks held their position in the Levant until the Ottomans eventually conquered them as well. The Arabian Emirates remained untouched.
