    Question 1, the answer is France. I’m an Algerian and I don’t see the resistance against France as violence. Instead the violence and the brutality was in the French colonial empire itself.

    2- C
    3- B
    4- D
    5- D
    6- don’t know
    7- D
    8- B
    9- B but it’s not true. 1935 Italy invaded Ethipia and stayed there until 1941. In history books, you’ll also find D Liberia, but it’s also not true. The answer to question 6 lead in fact to the colonization of Liberia in 1824 for 16 years by the ACS American Society for Colonization, run by white Americans.
    10- A
