Answer:
If I were a European leader during the Age of Imperialism, I would attempt to approach my goal of expanding my empire through diplomacy. Much like the control the United States achieved over China through the Open Door Policy, I would try to secure a strong economic influence in the country/territory and create international agreements (which made other countries feel like they had huge influence) to secure my own interests there. Then, I would find a resource that said country/territory could not live without and become the sole provider of said resource. Then, the country would have no choice but to depend on my European power (wah haha). Basically, I would manipulate the country/territory I want into needing my power while making other international powers think that they have a good deal while in reality I have the economic spoils and they have only a little. By using diplomacy rather than force or "international bullying," I have not created much of a conflict. Instead, everyone is blissfully ignorant of the fact that my country has completely taken over. Therefore, this is the perfect solution with definitely no disadvantages.
*Please note that a good bit of this answer was quite sarcastic, but I think you get the gist. :))

Answer: Jewish people relied on the leadership of rabbis to find new ways to practice their religion and preserve culture.
Explanation:
After Nebuchadrezzar of Babylonia conquered Judea and destroyed Jerusalem, the Jews were taken as captives to Babylon and although their way of life went through intense pressure, they were able to practice their religion and preserve culture.
This was down to the efforts of elders, religious leaders(Rabbis) and prophets who continually uplifted the people and entreated them to have hope for a return to their land. This practice of relying on Rabbis when in the diaspora has continued to this day and has helped Jews maintain a unique cultural identity.
