Answer:
preside over the growth of a large empire
Explanation:
Philip second has ruled a large empire (1527-1598) and his influence was seen at every continent then known to Europeans. He was the King of Spain, King of Portugal, Lord of Seventeen Provinces of Netherlander and Duke of Milan. His zeal to control England, Ireland and funding the Civil War in France have been motivated by his Catholic Empire. He championed Roman catholic Counter-Reformation in the sixteenth century. His reign was called The Golden Age of Spain for the vast empire he controlled.
Colonial governments were similar in that they were controlled by another powerful country.
For example, Great Britain's colonies in Nother America, Africa and Asia. They were all over the world but eventually controlled by powers in London.
Similar examples were seen when the United States colonized Phillipines and controlled it for many years.
However, they were different in that they all had seperate local governing bodies and signifcantly different laws and rules that reflected the needs and cultures of the local people.
Can you include the options please!
