What three countries were trying to expand power and create empires?

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, three prominent countries that sought to expand their power and create empires were Britain, France, and Germany. Britain focused on expanding its global reach through colonization, particularly in Africa and Asia, establishing a vast empire known as "the empire on which the sun never sets." France also pursued colonial expansion, particularly in North and West Africa, as well as Southeast Asia.
