Most Southeast Asian societies were reduced to colonies due to European Imperialism driven by economic interests, the search for new markets, and resources. The strategic location of the region along trade routes made it particularly attractive for colonization. However, some societies managed to resist colonization through strong local governance, military prowess, or diplomatic strategies, allowing them to retain a degree of autonomy or independence. This resistance varied widely based on local conditions, leadership, and external pressures from competing colonial powers.
