Colonial subjects who choose to cooperate are often given a reward or status not otherwise given under the old rule. This was a common tactic of the British--pull underclasses into the military and/or government rule. By doing this, you get support, it is cost effective as the colony will govern itself, and you lessen the power of the old elite.
The old elite are more likely to react with violence or rejection of the colonial system. They are typically more equipped to fight against the colonial power. Additionally, members of the military, if replaced, may also rebel against the colonial power. Another factor contributing to rebellion, may be the removal of important traditions or religious rites.

China and Japan share various cultural ideas with each
other. With their geographical proximity, they have continued to influence one
another. However, despite their similarities, there are also ways which these
two nations differ, and that is their view of the white man from the west.
Both China and Japan confronted challenges from Western
imperial powers and ended up signing unequal treaties with the West. However,
one stark difference in their reaction to these unequal treaties. The Japanese government,
currently under the Meiji regime chose to develop themselves through Westernization
in Japan. The Qing government, on the other hand, decided to keep the
traditional Chinese values and institutions in China. China’s efforts at
reforms were focused on dealing with the traditional methods to the growing western
influence in the country. Chinese cultural pride was profoundly ingrained in
their mindset that it turned into an impediment. It blinded numerous Chinese,
stopping them from identifying the requirement for fundamental change and to assimilate
new information from the west. Unlike China, Japanese efforts then was to
understand and recreate foreign technology to meet their military and
industrial requirements. These endeavors proved to be successful. The Meiji
then saw that military technology and industrialization could not be removed
from institutional structures that created these developments in the West. They
displayed minor hesitation in altering or ending traditional institutions for
those that could give Japan the modernity it needed to prosper as nation.
In conclusion, the Meiji Restoration was the Japanese’
success in assimilating western idea to their traditional way of things.
Proving that opening themselves for criticisms and help from western power
could be used to empower themselves.
The correct answer is Bias.
A trustworthy source is one that passes factual
knowledge without much bias (where Bias
means holding an unfair or fallacious opinion). In
simple terms, Bias is giving preference for one
thing over another. A source is fully reliable if it
does not show bias. History is a subject where
people reveal their opinions, hence, we have to
be very cautious while going through history.
However, Bias in the source does not
automatically make a source untrue or incorrect.
Recognizing which side the source favors only
allow us to highlight the gaps in the information.
