Africa & Asia
After World War I, the region in Southwest Asia was primarily controlled by European powers under the mandates established by the League of Nations. France gained control over Syria and Lebanon, while Britain took control of Iraq, Transjordan, and Palestine. These mandates were intended to prepare these regions for self-governance, but they often led to tensions and conflicts due to the imposition of foreign rule. The legacy of these arrangements significantly shaped the political landscape of the Middle East in the subsequent decades.

The Mongols had expanded into Europe and the Middle East (actually it is Southwest Asia and is stated as Southwest Asia on all US Military documents; e.g. orders, medals (awards) etc.) up until about 1299. After that date the Ottoman Empire (Turkey)controlled most of it until after WWI. After WWI, the British controlled it. After WWII, they all became independent countries (nations).
The USA was controlled by the USA. Parts of Asia were overtaken by the Japanese and other parts were still self-controlled and battling the Japanese.
USA. I'm not sure which countries they still controlled after World War 2 but they held on to the Philippines for a couple of years before they left. And even then they still had some military presence in that country until the 90's. The British also held on to Hong Kong until their contract expired.
