Answer 1

D.

Europeans waited for civil war to collapse the Mughal Kingdom, then moved in to India.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the colonial period, colonial powers had a significant effect on Southeast Asia. ... The arrival of Christianity that brought by the Europeans have affected Southeast Asian society and culture. In addition, a large demand for labor resulted in mass immigration that caused the demographical change.

Treaty gave France control of most of territory in southern Vietnam. ... European nations needed raw materials, European leaders wanted power and land, and they believed in social Darwinism.

Between 1945 and 1960, three dozen new states in Asia and Africa achieved autonomy or outright independence from their European colonial rulers. There was no one process of decolonization. In some areas, it was peaceful, and orderly. In many others, independence was achieved only after a protracted revolution.
