By 1600 England had two clusters of colonies.
I believe both originated and evolved in the United States during the late 1940s and early 1950s
B. Because even with many issues that plagued the Roman Empire economically and politically, By the later years of the empire the Roman military was mainly comprised of trained Barbarian soliders who were inferior to earlier Roman soliders causing a significant decrease in the Roman Empires's Military capablities so many barbarian tribes that began to grow such as the Huns, Vandals, Goth etc. Put immense pressure on the Empire, driving them into the ground economically and causing many issues within the government and eventually being sacked, thus marking the end of the Roman Empire. Sorry for the wall of text but hope this helped :)
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not specify what war you are talking about. Trying to help you we are going to assume that you are talking about World War I.
In addition to fighting in the army, European colonies contributed to the war effort in that these colonies sent supplies and food to the war front in Europe.
European superpowers had colonies in Africa, India, and Asia, places where there were plenty of natural resources and raw materials that were much needed by European countries during World War I. Great Britain and France were the European countries that used most soldiers from their colonies after many white troops were killed on the battlefield.
