Answer 2

Europeans removed the forests in Southeast Asia to take advantage of the region's resources.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Europeans discovered that the Southeast Asian region is rich in a number of natural resources ranging from firewood, teakwood to other highly precious minerals.

• To get hold of these resources and to fetch maximum economic gains, the Europeans carried out mass deforestations.

• Enormous wealth was driven out of forests and other mines that lied below these forests.
