Find which statement is not true.

  • A.Cuban Missile Crisis ended with the establishment of a direct communication line between the USA and the USSR to avoid future confrontation
  • B.Siam was a French colony in the late 19th century
  • C.Balkan nationalism generated in the context of the decline of the Austro Hungarian and the Ottoman Empire
  • D.Meiji Restoration marked the beginning of industrialization and westernization in Japan

Answer: B

The statement that is not true is Siam was a French colony in the late 19th century.

Siam (Thailand) was the only country in Southeast Asia never colonised. It survived as a buffer between British Burma and Malaya and French Indochina, although it gave up territory to both powers.

The other statements are true. After the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 a direct hotline was set up between Washington and Moscow in 1963. Balkan nationalism grew as the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires declined. The Meiji Restoration of 1868 began Japan's industrialisation and Westernisation.
