hi !

Explanation:

I place it in chronological order

1)The Silk Road was a network of trade routes which connected the East and West, and was central to the economic, cultural, political, and religious interactions between these regions from the 2nd century BCE to the 18th century. The Silk Road primarily refers to the land routes connecting East Asia and Southeast Asia with South Asia, Persia, the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa and Southern Europe.

2)All in all, there were seven colonial powers in Southeast Asia: Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, Great Britain, France, the United States, and Japan. From the 1500s to the mid-1940s, colonialism was imposed over Southeast Asia.

3)World War II (1939–1945) World War II, also called Second World War, conflict that involved virtually every part of the world during the years 1939–45. The principal belligerentswere the Axis powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan—and the Allies—France, Great Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and, to a lesser extent, China. The war was in many respects a continuation, after an uneasy 20-year hiatus, of the disputes left unsettled by World War I.  

The 40, 000,000 – 50, 000,000 deaths incurred in World War II make it the bloodiest conflict, as well as the largest war, in history.

4)Between 1945 and 1960, three dozen new states in Asia and Africa achieved autonomy or outright independence from their European colonial rulers. There wasno one process of decolonization. In some areas, it was peaceful, and orderly. Inmany others, independence was achieved only after a protracted revolution.
