Question

select all the correct answers.
what were three weaknesses of non - european regions that allowed european powers to control or colonize them?

• they did not have the most advanced military equipment.
• they were small nations with small populations.
• there was a lack of unity among members of various groups.
• they were resigned to the fate of being ruled by foreigners.
• they were weakened by trade restrictions and blockades.

Explanation:

• Advanced European military tech (e.g., firearms) outmatched non-European regions.
• Disunity (tribal/regional conflicts) let Europeans divide and conquer.
• Trade restrictions/blockades undermined local economies, reducing resistance capacity.
• "Small nations" is incorrect (e.g., Mughal India was large); "resigned fate" is not a historical weakness but a post-colonization narrative.

A. They did not have the most advanced military equipment, C. There was a lack of unity among members of various groups, E. They were weakened by trade restrictions and blockades
