The French Empire was also a major colonial power, with possessions in North America, South America, Africa, and Asia.
The Spanish Empire was still a significant colonial power, but its territories were shrinking as the Latin American colonies gained independence.
The Portuguese Empire was also in decline, but it still held on to its possessions in Brazil and Africa.
