I feel like it's important to remember that a lot of these countries still have a lot of these territories. You'll be looking at a map out in the middle of nowhere and it's like "Oh, yeah, this island is france" what? "Yeah, france. get wrecked."
The sun never sets....blahh blahh!!

What’s the thing with Italy not having colonies? How come?

Italy became a country only in 1861, so it was a bit late to the game.
It did, however have some colonies later on.
During the fascist dictatorship it tried to get some more and did an impressive bad job at it.
