Answer 1

The correct statement that compares the differences between Ethiopia’s and Siam’s resistance to imperialism is:

Ethiopia was forced to resort to violent resistance to maintain independence, while Siam used diplomacy.

Ethiopia famously fought and won against Italian invaders at the Battle of Adwa in 1896, whereas Siam (modern-day Thailand) skillfully navigated diplomatic relations with Western powers to maintain its sovereignty and avoid colonization.
