Answer 1

The correct answer is A) The spread of European religion and language overtook indigenous cultures in colonies around the world.

The option that evaluates how imperialism influenced Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America is "The spread of European religion and language overtook indigenous cultures in colonies around the world."

We can set the example of the Spanish and their Mesoamerica and South America colonies. When Spanish colonist conquered the New World, one of the first things they did was to preach Catholicism into the Native Indians of the region and exploit their raw materials and natural resources.

The case of the English in their African colonies or the French in Africa too is similar. They established their language and shared their customs and traditions.
