Nations with strong central governments were more successful in achieving stability than those with weaker governments. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that strong central governments are more effective in raising taxes.

Taxation serves several different purposes. The most obvious one is that taxes can be reinvested in social projects, such as buildings, schools, roads, healthcare, etc. Another advantage of taxes is that it makes the government accountable to the people. The people feel more entitled to demand satisfaction when they know the government is using their money. The government itself feels more pressured to fulfill its promises as well. Finally, taxation can increase national identity, because it gives people the feeling of working towards a common project, which contributes to the stability of the state (this is a serious problem in Africa, as state lines often cut across ethnic ones).

What role do you think violence has in resisting colonialism?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

While African resistance to European colonialism is often thought of in terms of a white and black/European and African power struggle, this presumption underestimates the complex and strategic thinking that Africans commonly employed to address the challenges of European colonial rule. It also neglects the colonial-era power dynamic of which African societies and institutions were essential components.

After the Berlin Conference of 1884–85, at which the most powerful European countries agreed upon rules for laying claim to particular African territories, the British, French, Germans, Italians, Spanish, Belgians, and Portuguese set about formally implementing strategies for the long-term occupation and control of Africa. The conquest had begun decades earlier—and in the case of Angola and South Africa, centuries earlier. But after the Berlin Conference it became more systematic and overt.

The success of the European conquest and the nature of African resistance must be seen in light of Western Europe's long history of colonial rule and economic exploitation around the world. In fact, by 1885 Western Europeans had mastered the art of divide, conquer, and rule, honing their skills over four hundred years of imperialism and exploitation in the Americas, Asia, and the Pacific. In addition, the centuries of extremely violent, protracted warfare among themselves, combined with the technological advances of the Industrial Revolution, produced unmatched military might. When, rather late in the period of European colonial expansion, Europeans turned to Africa to satisfy their greed for resources, prestige, and empire, they quickly worked their way into African societies to gain allies and proxies, and to co-opt the conquered kings and chiefs, all to further their exploits. Consequently, the African responses to this process, particularly the ways in which they resisted it, were complex.

In southeast Asia the European traders _____ a) Began a thriving trade with the local inhabitants b) Pretty much did what they c
Fiesta28 [93]

Letter D would be correct.

The beginning of the European colonization of Southeast Asia occurred along the 16th and 17th Centuries and was marked by a heavy dispute between the great marine traders. The firsts to arrive were the Dutch, Portuguese and Spanish, followed by the French and British spice traders. They all soon engaged in eliminating each other through acquiring strategic locations and production centers. Later on, along the 17th and 18th centuries, they focused on dominating ports along the maritime routes, what also allowed them to levy taxes and control prices of the Asian commodities under their control.
