Explains the development of nation states

 INTRODUCTION

As European powers attempted to colonize new territories in Asia, they were immediately met with resistance from local people and rulers. Although European colonizers were successful in their conquest, it did not mean the end of resistance to their rule. New opposition leaders emerged, armed with various strategies and motivated by different ideologies to fight the European colonizers and achieve independence. However, they also faced challenges brought by the struggle for global dominance between the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. This new challenge was met in different ways by people determined to maintain their freedom and resist foreign intervention. 

In this task, you will examine the origins of the independence movements in India and Vietnam and the ideologies that influenced them. You will also compare the strategies used by the leaders of these movements. Lastly, you will examine the effects of the Cold War on these two nations.
