C. Each country used a different method to achieve its goal.

Each of these nations pursued independence through different means and faced distinct historical contexts:

  • The Philippines fought against Spanish colonization and later against American rule before gaining independence after World War II.
  • India, led by figures like Mahatma Gandhi, utilized nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience against British colonial rule, ultimately achieving independence in 1947.
  • Vietnam fought against French colonial rule and later faced a prolonged conflict against French and then American involvement, ultimately securing independence in 1954 after the Vietnam War.

While their struggles shared some common goals of achieving independence from foreign rule, each country employed different methods, faced unique challenges, and had distinct paths toward achieving their respective goals of self-governance.
