Answer:

D. Colonies were too costly to maintain and defend

Explanation:

After the World War II, there was a big wave of gaining independence among the African and Asian countries. These countries were colonies of the Western European colonial powers, such as the British Empire and France. The World War II though left these countries in ruins, economically badly damaged, and with depleted military forces. There focus was to rebuilding their countries, so they were no longer economically and military powerful to maintain the colonies, thus they started to grant them independence, which resulted in lot of new countries and significant change of the political map of the world.

What type of warning systems do places have to tell people there are going to be tsunamis?

jeyben [28]

There must be an earthquake detector in place to detect any earthquakes off the shores in the oceans. This system can be a regional or local system, and although the system is fallible the margin of error is very small.

Sometimes though the earth quake/movement is too close to shore to detect it in time, and people get caught in it as a result.

There also needs to be a universal warning signal that actually tells people that the tsunami is coming.

I hope this helped.
