Please post in the forum for the day a short essay in response to this question:

The Mandate for European powers was ostensibly based on the premise that some countries were not yet ready for self-government.

• How did the peoples of the former Ottoman Empire, India, and China react to being classed as second-rate by the European powers?
• What conditions or events might lead European powers to conclude that a country was not able to govern itself?
• Do the Europeans view power differently from their colonies, protectorates, and mandates?
• What realities drove the consolidation and expression of power in SW Asia, SE Asia, and East Asia after World War I?
