Explanation:

After WWI, the Ottoman Empire dissolved. The Treaty of Sèvres (1920) and later arrangements assigned many Ottoman lands to British and French control as mandates under the League of Nations. Other options are incorrect: no new small empires formed, lands did not unite into one big empire, and Austria-Hungary had already collapsed post-WWI.

Answer:

Great Britain and France took control of them.
