Sep 2, 2017 at 7:43 comment added SJuan76 The issue that I have with this question is that countries hate being antropomorphized. Countries do not see, countries do not value. Contries are not people so they cannot. And people inside a country often have different agendas. For example, it is not that in 1953 Iran "did change its stance" about oil industry nationalization, it is that a different government with a different stance came to power.

Sep 1, 2017 at 20:49 comment added MCW I suspect the obvious answer is true - some of them knew what they were getting into and they thought the bargain was worth the price. I think even a cursory review of colonialism on wikipedia would be sufficient to demonstrate that.
Sep 1, 2017 at 20:47 comment added The_MN_MechE I've taken a class a few years ago on it but knew that not all of the proxy countries had previous control by another country. I just wanted to know if they "knew what they were getting into"
