Why were resistance movements often led by natives who had lived and been educated in the west? initially, what were the goals of these resistance leaders? how did their goals change over time?

Native leaders  respected the institutions and values of the West.

Their goal was to exploit natural resources and open up markets for Western manufactured goods.

But eventually the resistance movement led to demands for national independence.

Explanation:  

Resistance to Western rule took the form of peasant revolts.

The leaders often were a new class created by colonial rule: westernized intellectuals in the cities.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.
