In the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth, the world’s industrialized nations claimed colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. The “Scramble for Africa” resulted in nearly the entire continent falling under European control. France built an empire in Indochina while Japan did so in Korea. At times, the contest for colonies led the industrial powers to fight one another, as Japan and Russia did, and Britain and Russia nearly came to blows over central Asia. These nations also claimed spheres of influence in China, as did the United States. The islands of the Pacific were also quickly seized as imperial possessions, and it was there that the United States acquired the bulk of its empire by taking possession of Hawaii, Guam, and the Philippines.
