Notable AMGOT
This form of controlled government was implemented in the states of Germany, Italy, Austria and Japan, amongst others.
Opposition of France
The AMGOT would have been implemented in France after its liberation if not for General Charles de Gaulle establishing control of the country per the Provisional Government of the French Republic in the name of the Free French Forces and the united French Resistance (FFI) following the liberation of Paris by the French themselves instead of the Allies, in August 1944.
Germany
Germany's control was notably divided amongst the powers of the Soviet Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
Sicily
After the Operation Husky, with the Allied Invasion of Sicily, July 10, 1943 was established the Allied Military Government with chief Lord Francis Rodd, 2nd Baron Rennell and at civil affairs the colonel Charles Poletti, until February 1944.
Free Territory of Trieste
The Allied Military Government of Zone A of the Free Territory of Trieste was a follow-on from the military government of occupied Italy. It was established upon implementation of the Treaty of Peace with Italy, 15 September 1947, which created the free territory divided into two zones. Zone A was administered by the United States and the United Kingdom. Zone B was administered by Yugoslavia. Military government ended when the free territory was divided between Italy and Yugoslavia, November 1954, under the provisions of the London Memorandum, a memorandum of understanding among the United States, United Kingdom, Italy and Yugoslavia.
