When the the following countries get colonized? From which year to which year?
~Sorry, but you're going to have to be more specific. For instance, Laos and Vietnam are comprised of various kingdoms which had vanished before Indochina became part of colonial France and never existed as colonies since they had never been countries. Which Egypt? Was Bangledesh ever a country or a colony before separating from Pakistan? The UAE is not a country, it is a confederation. Are you speaking in terms of the current geographical areas, or of the nations currently called by the names you cite? For example, no nation called Israel ever existed before 1948, although the tribe of Isrir (Israel) is referenced in Egyptian records (as a nomadic tribe, not as a country, nation or kingdom) at least 4,000 years ago. Do you include Ceylon when you speak of Sri Lanka? I could go on, but you should get the point by now.
