Between 1750-1914 India was controlled by two countries France and Britain. France was in control first then they went to war with Britain and Britain gained control of India. They later called it The British East India Company.
On April 25, 1898 Spain and America went to war, The Spanish-American War, to see who got Cuba. America ended up winning and taking over Cuba for a while.
In 1930 a French army went to Algeria. Their leader, Husayn, realized that his armies weren't any match for France's so he didn't try to fight back and gave Algeria to France.
