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.
