____________________________________________________

Answer:

____________________________________________________

Western imperialism affect the culture of the colonies because colonized people were encouraged to adopt Christianity and European culture, and local traditions weakened.

____________________________________________________

Definitions:

Imperialism:

To extend powers and influences to other foreign nations, this was mostly obtained from getting complete control of political and economical standings, or through military force.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "A). Colonized people were encouraged to adopt Christianity and European culture, and local traditions weakened" is the correct answer because of the imperialism, people moved on to the European culture and beliefs, forgetting about their former traditions.

When the Europeans came to the land and colonized parts of it, the people that were already there were surrounded by the Europeans, and seeing what their culture was, the people were then colonized. Since they were colonized, they started to follow what the Europeans did, meaning that they started doing the traditions that the Europeans did, and stopped doing what they were use to doing. They had the change because of the influences and changes around them, the Europeans influenced and encouraged them to follow their way, since the Europeans believed that their way was the right way. The traditions that the colonized people were use to were pretty much forgotten because the European culture and traditions were taking over the former traditions.

____________________________________________________

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:

The reason why answer choice "B). Colonized people were encouraged to teach their languages and traditions to their Western rulers, which strengthened relations between the groups." is incorrect because:

The teaching of their languages and traditions to the Western rulers didn't really strengthen the relationship between the groups. The reason why it didn't strengthen the relationship was because the people were not so happy about other people coming and taking their land. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

The reason why answer choice "C). Colonized people were encouraged to adopt Christianity, while maintaining their own political and social traditions." is incorrect because:

It was very hard for a person to keep their own political and social traditions while other people are colonizing their land. There was many influences and people encouraging them to move to their traditions, which made it hard for someone to keep their beliefs. The people later on just followed the European traditions and cultures, since it was the only thing that was spreading through out the land. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.

The reason why answer choice "D). Colonized people were encouraged to maintain their own religions, while adopting European languages and ideals." is incorrect because:

Like I said before, it was very hard for someone to maintain their religion. The colonized people had troubles maintaining their religion, while adopting the European language and ideas. Since the colonized people adopted the European language and ideas, the way they thought about things change, in other words, the way they view things changed because of the influences and encouragement of the Europeans. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
