The League of Nations called for the breakup of the territories of the Ottoman Empire mainly in the Middle East. This region saw the emergence of new nation-states following World War I, as territories were redefined and mandates were established. The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire significantly altered the political landscape in the Middle East, leading to the creation of countries like Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.
There are actually three non-Arab Middle Eastern Nations: Turkey, Iran, and Israel.
In 1950, there were 59 recognized sovereign nations in the world. This number included countries that had gained independence following World War II and those that were still colonies or territories. The geopolitical landscape was quite different from today, as many nations in Africa and Asia were still under colonial rule or on the brink of independence.
The combined area of colonies held by the nations of the Triple Entente—primarily Britain, France, and Russia—was extensive, covering significant parts of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. By the early 20th century, the British Empire alone was the largest, encompassing about 13 million square miles, while France controlled vast territories in North and West Africa and Southeast Asia. Russia also had substantial territories, particularly in Siberia and parts of Central Asia. Together, the colonial holdings of these nations represented a significant portion of the world's landmass at the time.
After World War I Britain acquired the following countries as League of Nations mandates (after 1945, United Nations trust territories): * Tanganyika (corresponds to present day Tanzania but without Zanzibar) * Camerun (part only) * Togo (part only) * Iraq (independent in 1932) * Palestine (corresponds roughly to present day Israel and the West Bank/Occupied Territories) * Transjordan (corresponds to modern Jordan)
