How does Imperialism affect Southeast Asia?

Southeast Asia's imperialism was largely affected by the scale of trade between India, Southeast Asia, and China. Many nations, such as Great Britain, wanted to expand their trade, so they were able to provide safer and more productive trade routes by colonizing Southeast Asia.

Southeast Asian economies were dependent on cash crops. Roads, harbors, rail systems and enhanced connectivity have been developed. This also lead to the improvement of education, hygiene, and sanitation.

In general, the Europeans had a very negative effect on the regions in India, China, and Africa that they colonized/took over. the people of Africa and Asia hated to be ruled by the European nations.
