The revolutions of 1848 were motivated by which idea

answer: the apache, comanche, kiowa, crow, and osage tribes are plains indians.  

yup! you are correct it is b.

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
