The partitioning of the Upper Middle East between Britain and France under Sykes-Picot Agreement took place in 1917, but the realization of this partitioning in the creation of the Mandates of Palestine, Iraq, and Syria did not happen until 1919. Many other areas of the Middle East came under Imperial Protection even earlier, in the 19th century. Egypt fell under British control in 1882 and the Trucial States (now the United Arab Emirates) fell under British control even earlier, in 1820.

This statement is incorrect; before 1776, the territory that is now the United States was primarily a collection of thirteen colonies under British control, not France. These colonies were established along the Atlantic coast and operated independently in many ways, though they were subject to British governance. France did have colonial interests in North America, notably in Canada and the Mississippi River region, but the thirteen colonies themselves were predominantly British. The American Revolution began in 1775, leading to the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
France is self-determining. The French people control France; it is not under foreign domination.
