Your new-caught, sullen peoples, half-devil and half-child. what does the passage from kipling's "white man's burden" most likely mean?
a. that the people they conquered were evil and old
b. that the people they conquered were innocent and mischievous
c. that the people they conquered were ignorant and uncivilized
d. that the people they conquered were good and noble

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
