Answer 1

To determine which statement is true, we need to analyze each option based on historical context:

1. No European nations hold territory in the Pacific today.

   • This statement is false as several European nations, such as France (New Caledonia, French Polynesia) and the United Kingdom (Pitcairn Islands), still maintain territories in the Pacific.

2. All colonies were established during the nineteenth century.

   • This statement is also false, as many colonies were established prior to the nineteenth century, including several in the 18th century and earlier.

3. All colonies became independent during the twentieth century.

   • This statement is inaccurate since some colonies gained independence in the late 19th century, and others, such as a few Pacific territories, still remain dependent today.

4. Australia was the only former colony to form its own colony.

   • This statement is misleading. While Australia did develop its own territories and states after becoming independent, it was not the only former colony to do so.

Based on this analysis, none of the statements provided are true. However, if there were a different context or a mistake in the options provided, please verify or provide the chart for a more accurate assessment.
