Read the passage and answer the question:

One may ask: doesn’t security depend on internal peace and order? How can a society be secure if there is violence or the threat of violence inside its borders? And how can it prepare to face violence from outside its borders if it is not secure inside its borders? Traditional security must also, therefore, concern itself with internal security. The reason it is not given so much importance is that after the Second World War it seemed that, for the most powerful countries on earth, internal security was more or less assured.

How were the security challenges facing the newly independent countries of Asia and Africa different from the challenges in Europe?

Both options 1 and 2.

The correct answer is Option 3 - Both options 1 and 2.

Option 1- The new countries of Asia and Africa faced the prospect of military conflict with neighbouring countries.
Option 2- They had to worry about internal military conflict.
Option 3- Both options 1 and 2.
Option 4- Neither 1 nor 2.

The security challenges facing the newly-independent countries of Asia and Africa were different from the challenges in Europe in two ways. For one thing, the new countries faced the prospect of military conflict with neighbouring countries. For another, they had to worry about internal military conflict. These countries faced threats not only from outside their borders, mostly from neighbours, but also from within. Many newly- independent countries came to fear their neighbours even more than they feared the US or Soviet Union or the former colonial powers. They quarrelled over borders and territories or control of people and populations or all of these simultaneously.
