Use the passage below and your knowledge of world history to answer all parts of the question that follows.
The European conquest of these territories had been relatively easy, especially during the era of new imperialism, when machine guns, telegraph lines and other forms of technology, and a disregard for African and Asian lives allowed European armies and their local allies to kill or devastate everyone who stood in their way. ... In most colonies, however, very few colonizers actually remained in place to maintain control, and so they relied on local collaborators to exercise sovereignty. All sorts of reasons, from existing rivalries with other local people and leaders to new possibilities for power, prestige, knowledge, and wealth, led some of the conquered to put up with or accept — even respect or admire — the colonizing authorities.
