Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire
The empires that were lost as a result of WWI were Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Germany lost its colonies.
Spain and other countries ruled their empires as the result of conquest. There was never any moral principle at work.
Some of the countries and empires that do not appear in the postwar map of 1919 are the German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Russian Empire. These empires were dismantled or significantly reduced in size as a result of the First World War and the subsequent peace treaties. New countries and borders emerged in their place, reflecting the political changes and territorial adjustments that occurred during and after the war.

The Byzantine Empire was conquered by various Turkic groups, with the Ottomans dealing the death blow to the empire. However, the citizens of the Byzantine Empire, especially the Hellenized Anatolians, became Turks through their conversion to Islam (and speaking Turkish) under Ottoman rule. This process began as early as the 1300s and continued well into the 19th century. By the end of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was roughly three-quarters Muslim and Anatolia would be purged of its Christian minorities as a result of the Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides during World War I.
The biggest "result" of Spanish Conquest in the America's was the formation, for the first time, of "International Law." The Spanish Conquest was found to violate international law, and the first formations of these laws was discussed by the "School of Salamanca."
There were five great empires that went into WWI, and only one came out. The Russian, Ottoman Turk, German and Austro-Hungarian Empires all collapsed as a result of the war. Where before there had been the Austro-Hungarian (or Hapsburg) Empire, which had lasted hundreds of years and was the oldest of all the empires, after the war there were many new countries, including Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia. Only the British Empire survived, of the five empires who fought in the war.
