Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ C. Anticolonial revolts or wars mostly occurred in colonies with large European settler populations. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Decolonization and Violence ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The presence of large European settler populations in colonies often led to more entrenched colonial interests and a reluctance on the part of the colonizers to grant independence without a fight. Settlers typically had significant economic and social stakes in the colony, which made them resistant to change and supportive of the colonial regime. This resistance often resulted in violent confrontations, as was the case in Algeria, where a significant French settler population was present. In contrast, colonies with fewer settlers or where settlers had less at stake were more likely to achieve independence through negotiations or relatively peaceful transitions. ⚹◊What role did violent anti-colonial actions play in shaping the process of decolonization in Africa during the mid-20th century, according to AP World History perspectives⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
