In 1810 Britain took control of Java and in 1819 established a base at Singapore. By 1824 the British had established control of over both India and much of Malaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"HISTORY OF MALAYSIA in 12 Minutes\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1HRPIlg0QIk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What were the influences to Malaysia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Legacies of the European Powers <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When considering the legacies of the three European countries, these were some of your thoughts in April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A.
