In what way did colonies become dependent on imperial nations?

The process of colonization involves an initial disruption of the current way of living of the populations who initially inhabited the colonized territories. This way of living involved in previous economic and political practices. However, with the arrival of European colonizers, these civilizations would be merely seen as sourcing points the kingdoms, completely changing the political and economic landscape of these places.

This was the reason why many colonies were heavily dependant on their European rulers after they achieved independence, as they depended on trade in order to subsist. Nevertheless, the terms that were agreed upon while engaging on trade have much favored the kingdoms. This is an ongoing issue that continues until nowadays.

me on my last question.

the options of this question are:

a) president wilson’s desire to form the league of nations  

b) germany’s desire for reasonable conditions of surrender and fair treatment.  

c)europe’s desire to maintain original pre-war borders  

d) the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions

the correct answer is d) the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions.

the allies’ desire to seek retribution for germany’s actions had the greatest influence on how germany was treated after world war i.

it is estimated that the cost of wwi was around 260 billion dollars, and the allies wanted germany to pay a big part for the losses. the allies also wanted to impose land losses as well as limit the army of germany and confiscate their industrial resources to apply the retribution.

in the united states, president woodrow wilson created the fourteen points to be delivered to germany, as a peace program. he presented these documents to the u.s. congress in january 1918.
