Praxis II Citizenship

Answer: D - The darkened regions of the map below represent all of the territory that has ever been part of the British Empire, excluding territory in Antarctica. France never had possession of the British Isles, Australia, or India, though it did fight Britain for the latter. France also never had control over the entire eastern part of the eventual United States; rather it had control over the middle section, which it eventually sold to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase. The darkened regions could not represent the British Empire of the 1920s, because Britain no longer had control over any of the United States at that time.
