. A country which controls its own government but whose political system is at the mercy of powerful international economic systems is said to be a victim of (a) Colonialism (b) Federalism (c) Decentralization (d) Neocolonialism (e) Geopolitics

The correct answer is letter D

The industrialization of the European continent marked an intense process of economic expansion. The growth of industrial parks and the accumulation of capital made the great economic powers in Europe seek to expand their markets and seek greater quantities of raw materials available at low cost. It was in this context that, from the 19th century, these nations sought to explore regions in Africa and Asia.

Gradually, European governments intervened politically in these regions in the interest of meeting the demands of their large industrial conglomerates. Unlike the colonialism of the sixteenth century, this new mode of exploitation intended to make the dominated areas great consumption markets for their industrialized goods and, at the same time, poles for the supply of raw materials. In addition, the great growth of the European population made Afro-Asian domination an alternative to the population surplus in Europe, which, in the 19th century, housed more than 400 million people.

the economic difference between the three colonial regions. shipbuilding, whaling, fishing, and trapping where also main factors to the economy. the southern regional colonies economy was based on sugarcane, rice, cotton, tobacco, and indigo.
