Match the following Colonial Powers given in List-I with Colonies in the List-II by using the correct code :
| List-I (Colonial Powers) | List-II (Colonies) |
|---|---|
| (a) France | (i) East Timor |
| (b) Netherlands | (ii) Indo-China |
| (c) Portugal | (iii) Philippines |
| (d) Spain | (iv) Indonesia |
Codes : (a) (b) (c) (d)
Answer: C
The correct matching is (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii), the code (ii) (iv) (i) (iii).
France ruled Indo-China (Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia) until 1954. The Netherlands ruled the Dutch East Indies, which became Indonesia. Portugal held East Timor until 1975, and Spain ruled the Philippines until it lost them to the United States in 1898.
Every other code gives at least one power the wrong colony: (iii) (i) (iv) (ii) gives France the Philippines, (iv) (ii) (iii) (i) gives France Indonesia, and (i) (iii) (ii) (iv) gives France East Timor.
