Question

before the industrial revolution, how did european states typically manage their relationships with countries they depended on for raw materials? they dealt with independent countries. they established control over vast territories. they established control through missionary activity.

Explanation:

Before the Industrial Revolution, European states were engaged in colonialism. Colonialism involved establishing control over vast territories (colonies) to extract raw materials. Dealing with independent countries would not ensure a steady supply of raw materials as per European interests. While missionary activity was sometimes a part of colonial efforts (to spread religion and justify colonial rule in some cases), the primary and typical way to manage relations for raw - material - dependent regions was through territorial control.

Answer:

They established control over vast territories.
