The two European countries that held the most territory in Africa were Britain and France. Britain controlled vast regions, including Egypt, Sudan, South Africa, and parts of East Africa, while France held significant territories in West and North Africa, including Algeria, Senegal, and Madagascar. Their colonial empires were among the largest on the continent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Seven European countries held land in Africa in 1914.
It would take a long time to explain exactly who held what before World War 1 began, but the continent of Africa was almost completely divided and owned by the European countries. Several European countries, along with the US and Japan, maintained a presence in China, and the British held India. The Ottoman Turkish Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were in decline, but they still held territory in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
