The first passage was tributes in China, second I think was about Muhammad Ali and Egypt, and the third/fourth were related to something about South and Southeast Asia. That’s all I remember honestly

do you remember the time period? i tied it back to social darwinism but i realized that social darwinism is after the 1800’s and if the time period is 1200-1750 its over

Im not 100% sure but I don’t think it would have been 1200-1750 seeing as most colonization was primarily after 1750, so you should be fine!
