History

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What Richard Tobin meant by his statement, "The veneer of civilization has dropped away," is the following.

British official Richard Tobin was talking about the terrible war in the trenches during World War I.

What he meant was that when soldiers fought in the trenches, that was the jungle, like animals fighting trying to survive.

To better comprehend this idea we have to say that in those years of World War I, the zone between trenched was known as "No man's land," meaning that in order to survive, everything was possible. And the fight was cruel, bringing the worst out of humans. And in that time, if the army wanted to occupy the enemy's position, the only way was through breaking into the enemy's trenches. Soldiers did not though or reason, they just reacted and attacked, like in the jungle. It was only a matter of survival.

Which of the following provides evidence that imperialism left a lasting impact on many colonial territories?
ELEN [110]

C. Many African and Asian nations are based on former colonial boundaries.

Explanation:

The European imperialism managed to have impact on much of the world. The Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, Oceania were all heavily impacted. While some former colonies managed to fully move away and almost have no trace that they were colonies, many still have bad consequences from it.

One of those traces and consequences are the boundaries. The majority of the African countries and some countries in Asia still have the colonial boundaries. While this may not seem as a problem it is actually a very big one. The reason as to why this is problem is that people from different religious, ethnic, and linguistic groups have been put in the same borders. Lot of these groups traditionally have bad blood between them and don't tolerate each other.

This situation in many cases has resulted in internal division of the countries. Multiple civil wars have occurred and even genocides. The tensions still persist to this day and unfortunately don't seem like they will be calmed down anytime soon.
