Answer:
1. Portuguese Empire
2. British Empire
3. Dutch East India Company
Explanation:
The Portuguese discovered the Cape of Good Hope but never establishment a colony in South Africa. They were the first European Empire to trade with Sub-Saharan Africa.
The British colonized India and much of South-East Asia and introduced railroads. You
could take a train from Hong Kong to England.
The Dutch East India Company did establish a colony in South Africa and Afrikaans was a language that came about after Dutch nationals not associated with the VOC demanded land to farm. They were called the Free Burghers and developed Afrikaans, which is a simplified version of Dutch that takes influence from English, as a rebelion against the VOC.
One of the main ways in which changes to the railroad helped American industries to grow is that the expansion of the rail system led to increased migration to the west, which led to more farming and agricultural output. Another would be that it led to settlements that ultimately led to business that were able to conduct business over state lines with great ease.
