During the 19th century, imperial powers primarily controlled large swathes of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. European nations, such as Britain, France, and Germany, expanded their empires through colonization, leading to the "Scramble for Africa" where most of the continent was partitioned among them. In Asia, Britain dominated India, while France and the Netherlands held significant territories in Southeast Asia. Additionally, the Pacific Islands were subject to control by various imperial powers, including the United States and Spain.
