Bangladesh won a war for independence from the rest of Pakistan in 1971.
B. French Indochina included what is now Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and the province of Guangzhouwan leased from China. From the 15th century through the 20th century, rival European colonial powers conquered and exploited the lands and people of the Americas, Australia and much of Africa and Asia. Burma gained independence in 1948.
