List of colonial, imperial and otherwise controlled foreign territories by dominant power

Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of colonial, imperial and otherwise controlled foreign territories by dominant power

This list, though not quite complete, contains a widely varied spectrum of colonies, protectorates, mandate -, trust - and occupied or annexed states, dependent territories and other political entities that were (or in some cases are) subjected to another sovereign power, or in (de facto unequal) personal union, arranged by these dominant nations or empires.

They need to be sorted out further by type of control.
