The answer is: Europeans saw territories as an extension of a home country, so they demanded that native people conform.

Explanation:

The colonization of the "Native Americans" by the European people brought confusion to the Indians. Some Native Americans saw the Europeans as friendly while others saw them as violent. There was a cross-cultural difference.

From the period of 1601-1776, the Europeans were very much eager to take control of North America, culturally and economically. Whenever they colonize territories, they think of the territory as an extension of their country. With this, they think that the native people must conform or adjust every time. For example, they wanted them to accept Christianity as a religion.

Coupled with America's "policy of assimilation," the culture of the natives were shaped into the European-American culture.

Thus, this explains the answer.

B. Europeans saw territories as an extension of a home country, so they demanded that native people conform.

Explanation:

Europeans who colonized native people and operated a direct leadership would not admit the fact that those native people and their way of life influenced them.

The Europeans saw the territories they colonized as an outgrowth or extension of their home country. They saw their own countries in these colonies. As such, they forced these natives to conform to their way of life. Also, forcing their way of life on these native colonies was easy because the leadership of the native territories was not strong. It made it easy for the Europeans to divide and rule them. With these shortcomings they saw in the natives, they did not expect the natives to influence them (European). This explains why they refused to admit the natives did influence them greatly.
