What challenges did Indonesia and Myanmar confront following
independence?

Indonesia and Malaysia found themselves in a volatile region dominated by expansive superpowers and volatile neighbors.

Explanation:

Malaysia and Indonesia occupy a land that has been a hotbed of trade settlements for ages and is incredibly valuable.

When they won their independence the countries were ready to establish their influence on the region again but found themselves in the middle of the cold war and Soviet Union and USA making proxy wars in their neighboring countries

IT was also difficult to assert control for them with the Chinese laying claims to the South china sea which is the area of trade for them.

the crusades are one of the most significant events in the history of europe and the middle east.   they were a series of religious wars carried out by christian crusaders from europe during the timeframe of the middle ages.   beginning in 1095 ce, the crusades saw european knights and noblemen travel to the middle east in an attempt to capture the holy land away from muslim people that had controlled the region for the previous centuries.   the term crusade means ‘cross’.   therefore, the europeans that became crusaders viewed themselves as ‘taking up the cross’.   in fact, many of the crusaders wore crosses on their clothing and armor as they made their pilgrimage to the holy land.

explanation:

no every country is held to the same degree as others just some member countries such as the usa and germany are more economically sound so the need to show there support to all others
