The Ottoman Empire at its height controlled territories on three different continents.

Africa: Most of North Africa was under Ottoman control including territories from all of the following Modern countries: Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Sudan.(Morocco was intentionally not conquered but the Ottoman Empire exerted a strong cultural influence over the independent country).

Europe: The Ottoman Empire controlled the entire Balkans region (Yugoslav States, Albania, and Greece) except for some of the Dalmatian Coast (part of Modern Croatia) and parts of Greece which were under Venetian Control. In addition they controlled the entirety of what is now Bulgaria, Hungary, and parts of Romania. In addition they established dependent protectorates in Wallachia (part of Modern Romania).

Asia: The Ottoman Empire controlled the Levant (Modern Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan), Mesopotamia (Modern Iraq) the Western Arabian Coast (part of Modern Saudi Arabia which includes Mecca and Medina), and of course Anatolia and the Caucasus (modern day Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.

Note: This list is not exhaustive as there are other modern countries which had some occupation by the Ottoman Empire, but those territories make up less than 10% of the modern countries' land areas.
