Answer 1

At the end of the 19th century British and French government policies were NOT focussed on encouraging nationalism in Asia.

Explanation:

At the end of the 19th century, British and French governments focused on increasing trade, exploiting colonial resources, and protecting their colonies to maintain power. However, they did not encourage nationalism in Asia, as it posed a threat to their colonial dominance. Nationalist movements in countries like India and Vietnam directly challenged colonial rule, which the colonial powers sought to suppress, not promote.
