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.

By 1914, numerous European countries had established colonies across Africa, driven by economic interests, nationalism, and the desire for geopolitical power. Major colonial powers included Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Portugal, and Italy, each claiming vast territories. The Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 facilitated the "Scramble for Africa," leading to the formalized partitioning of the continent among these nations. By 1914, nearly 90% of Africa was under European control, significantly impacting the continent's social, economic, and political structures.
