50 points and brainliest: plz don't copy and paste other answers. In this unit, you read about transitions of power and the formation of independent nations in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. Some of these transitions were peaceful, while others caused long-term instability. Why do you think some countries were more successful than others with political transitions? What do you think were the biggest challenges facing newly independent countries? Would it have been possible for leaders to prevent these problems before they happened? Why or why not?

im working on your answer rn but while i do it how is your day goin

Explanation:

Why do you think some countries were more successful than others with pollitcal transitions?

Some transitions where peaceful and some cause longer-term instablility because of who was leading, many of the counrties that had been colonized by other larger more powerful countries had damaged and taken away many things from smaller less powerful countries that they tried to conlonize or invade for resources and power, including younger and more smarter individuals that could've helped to bettter those countries, especially in different smaller countries.

So once you include that into the mixture it really would depend on circumstances and settings for a leader to do well with what they were given, since a lot of the more smarter individuals and minds that could've been better to lead and help smaller countries were lost during when larger more powerful countries forcefully invaded and tried to colonize and control smaller countries.  

Cause different people from smaller countries that weren't very educated and is given an already unstable country cause from others trying to either forcefully conlonize, control, or invade for resources, uneducated people who haven't had experience with those things to begin with wouldn't do well in the first place trying to handle a counrty let alone one thats already unstable, let alone handle or control a country or handle political transitions properly.

Then on the other side you have more educated leaders who have experience and knowledge with such things as well as how to control and handle a counrty properly, as well as being in control of some of the more stronger, larger, and powerful countries with the ability to take over, colonize, and invade other smaller countries for resources and power, gave them the better hand in things as well as more successful as a country and as a leader in general.

What do you think were the biggest challenges facing newly independent countries?

1. Their was already larger and more powerful countries with experienced, knowledgable, and powerful leaders sending out their own people to colonize smaller countries and lands as well as invade other smaller countries for resources.  

2. A lot of the smaller countries as well as newly made independent countries had already been colonized by other larger more powerful countries or they were invaded for resources, or they were in the process of having those things happen. This led to lots of loss of smarter and stronger people that could've helped the smaller countries, as well as loss of good resources that could also help smaller countries.

3. Some newly independent countries were countries that had split off from the larger more powerful countries because they thought that they were too controlling, in the process making enemies with the larger more powerful countries for the time being.

4. Being a smaller country surrounded by larger more powerful countries meant that the power was obviously one sided and the smaller countries didn't have much of a chance to fight back if they had to defend themselves from anything so if it did ever come to it they would have to either give up to larger counrties or be destroyed and have resources taken if a larger country with more defenses wanted to colonize or invade.

5. Being a smaller country, let alone a newly formed one meant not as many open resources available, as well as not having much on a trade market because of the size.

Would it have been possible for leaders to prevent these problems before they happened? why or why not?

Yes, although it would have to be the larger more powerful countries to do it since they were the ones that would have that control and power to prevent it.

Larger countries could've tried to offer any extra resources or supplies to smaller countries to try to build them up and make them larger, as well as make more allys in the process, as well as if any other larger countries tried to invade, control, or colonize smaller countries against their will they would have other larger more powerful countries to help defend and protect them from that threat, in exchange they could've given larger countries extra resources and supplies they needed in exchange for allying with them, instead of the larger more powerful countries just invading and taking resources and land, and having smaller countries get build up of losses in the process.
