Answer 1

I don't see how Thailand could be a buffer state when it was much farther east of Indochina and the Philippines. Check your book to see if either B or C is the best answer.

East Timor became independent in 2002. I doubt if activities in the 1700s could be considered a primary cause of the violence leading to independence. Please try again.

Answer 2

1)b 2)d

Answer 3

You may be right on 1. But check your book because it could be a different answer.

The second one is wrong. I don't think you're reading your book (or even my previous answers).
