As European powers attempted to colonize new territories in Asia, they were immediately met with resistance from local people and rulers. Although European colonizers were successful in their conquest, it did not mean the end of resistance to their rule. New opposition leaders emerged, armed with various strategies and motivated by different ideologies to fight the European colonizers and achieve independence.
