The empire that collapsed at the end of World War 1 was the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire covered vast territories in the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Europe.
After World War 1, the Ottoman Empire was partitioned by the Allied Powers, with Britain and France taking control of various territories in the region. The British and French established mandates over these territories, with the League of Nations overseeing the administration of these mandates.
The mandate system was created by the League of Nations to govern former territories of the Ottoman Empire and other defeated powers. The system aimed to prepare these territories for self-government and independence by establishing a temporary international oversight until they were deemed ready for independent statehood.
However, the mandate system faced criticism for being a form of imperialism and colonialism in disguise, as the mandatory powers (Britain and France) were essentially controlling and exploiting the resources of these territories without granting them full autonomy. This led to resistance movements in some of the mandated territories and prolonged struggles for independence. Ultimately, the mandate system was replaced by various independence movements and the creation of new states in the region.
