The two European countries that held the most territory in Africa were Britain and France. Britain controlled vast regions, including Egypt, Sudan, South Africa, and parts of East Africa, while France held significant territories in West and North Africa, including Algeria, Senegal, and Madagascar. Their colonial empires were among the largest on the continent during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
World War I ended with uprisings and revolutions in several European countries. Communists took advantage of these uprisings and tried to take control of those countries. They were successful in Russia, and also tried in Germany (where they did control parts like Bavaria briefly) and Hungary (where they took control for about five months).
Europeans possessed more advanced military technology.
In 1914, Europe had colonies on every continent except Antarctica. Notably, Africa was heavily colonized, with countries like Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain controlling vast territories. Asia also saw European colonial presence, particularly in regions like India (British), Indochina (French), and the Dutch East Indies. Additionally, parts of the Americas were under European control, with territories still held by Spain and Portugal.
In 1942, the countries controlled by the Nazis included Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Denmark, Norway, and parts of the Soviet Union, including Ukraine and the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania). Additionally, they had influence or control over regions in Northern Africa, such as parts of Libya and Tunisia. The extent of control varied, with some countries being fully annexed and others under occupation or puppet governments.
Some European countries would have controlled parts of Asia, but never all of it.
No European countries own a "colony" in Africa anymore. Spain does, however, own two small cities in North Africa (they are not colonies, they are parts of Spain). France and the United Kingdom own some islands off the coast of Africa, as well.

Chimpanzees can be found in a few countries in Africa. These include Guinea, Cote d'Ivoire, parts of Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, parts of Sudan, and parts of Uganda.

Among the European countries that established their own colonies in Africa were Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. While some countries (including France, Spain, and Portugal) had colonized parts of Africa as far back as the 1500s, the majority of the colonization by the European powers occurred in the mid-to late 1800s. To a certain extent, the Dutch were apart of this colonization as they formed a group of other Europeans who settled in what was South Africa. They were called Afrikaners.
