Best Answer

European nations didn't gain any territory in the Middle East in the 1800s - Britain effectively took over control of Egypt in 1882, but Egypt is in North Africa rather than the Middle East, which remained under Ottoman control until well into WW1, in the 20th century.

Whoever set the question is mistaken about events in the region during the 1800s.
