Europe still oversees 42 territories
Summary: Europe still administers or maintains colonies on 42 territories and islands outside its continent, including 13 for Spain, 13 for Britain, 12 for France, 6 for the Netherlands, and others. This is despite more than five centuries having passed since the start of the colonial expansion, and most of these territories are either broadly autonomous or claim sovereignty. Some of these areas, such as Ceuta and Melilla, are officially claimed by Morocco, while many others remain on the United Nations list as non-self-governing territories. The situation affirms that European influence and territorial control outside Europe persist, despite the decline of traditional empires.
