Ruth Burgess · Answer 1

The correct answer is option C) "The Allied powers took control of territory in the former Ottoman Empire." After World War I, the League of Nations granted a mandate to the allied forces, which meant that a nation member of the league had the authorization to govern colonies that belonged to the previous Ottoman Empire. According to the mandate, the colonies that belonged to the German and Turkish could not govern themselves yet so those territories were divided among the allied forces that were victorious after World War I.
