The conquest of one culture by another usually resulted in all of the following, EXCEPT __________.

Answer 1

The conquest of one culture by another usually resulted in all of the following, EXCEPT D. extermination of the vanquished by the conquerors. Why would the conquerors exterminate those they defeated when they can submit them to their will and use them as slaves? It makes no sense to get rid of all that workforce just because you conquered them. It's quite the opposite - the conquerors used the vanquished for many things, and they were quite useful to them.
