Question

how did advances in communication technology after the industrial revolution contribute to europe’s ability to establish and dominate new colonial empires? a. they allowed europeans to communicate easily across different parts of international empires. b. they distributed propaganda that convinced most conquered peoples to support european empires. c. they helped asian and african militaries to organize successful defenses against colonialism. d. they exposed european atrocities in colonies that led many people to condemn colonialism.

Explanation:

Advances in post-Industrial Revolution communication (like telegraphs) let European powers coordinate administration, military, and resource extraction across far-flung colonial territories, directly enabling empire establishment and dominance. Options B, C, and D are incorrect: propaganda did not convince most colonized peoples, these technologies did not aid colonized defenses, and they were used to control information rather than expose atrocities.

Answer:

A. They allowed Europeans to communicate easily across different parts of international empires.
