How many colonies did triple alliance and triple entente control around the world?

At the height of their powers during World War I, the Triple Alliance (comprising Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) had various colonies, mainly in Africa and the Pacific, but their influence was significantly overshadowed by the Triple Entente (comprising the United Kingdom, France, and Russia). The Triple Entente controlled vast empires, with the British Empire alone encompassing numerous colonies across Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Pacific. Estimates suggest that by 1914, the British Empire controlled about a quarter of the world's land area, while France had significant territories in Africa and Southeast Asia, making the Entente's colonial reach far more extensive than that of the Alliance. Overall, the Entente's colonial holdings vastly exceeded those of the Alliance, reflecting their global influence.

Bulgaria and the Ottoman empire joined the alliance, against the Entente with UK, France and Russia. Other countries joined the Entente too. When Italy swapped sides in 1915, the remainder of the German war alliance was called the central powers. WWI started 1914 and reached armistice in 1918. In WWII the term "the allies" was used about those fighting with the UK against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan, with their collaborators).
