The Philippines example challenges which common assumption about colonialism?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: That colonialism was limited only to European powers

The direct answer is A: the Philippines challenges the belief that colonialism was limited to European powers. Colonialism means controlling another territory and its people, and the United States also ruled overseas territories. The Philippines was under Spanish rule, became a US possession after the Spanish-American War, and became independent in 1946. Therefore an Asian colony could be controlled by a non-European power. B is wrong because Asia did have colonies. C is wrong because Philippine and other freedom movements show that independence struggles were possible. D is wrong because the United Nations did not create these colonies. The exact year 1946 supports the example, but the main lesson is broader: colonialism was not only European.
