Imperialist nations were drawn to Southeast Asia due to its rich natural resources, strategic trade routes, and the potential for economic exploitation. In response to Western attempts to dominate the region, local leaders and communities often resisted through both military conflict and diplomatic negotiations, seeking to preserve their sovereignty and cultural identity.
