HISTORY QUESTION AND ANSWER


1.       With example explain six reasons for African resistance
          AFRICAN RESISTANCE was the reaction in which several societies fought against the European imposition of colonial rule in Africa. Resistance in Africa mainly occurred between 1880 up to 1914 in many part of Africa continent. The following was the reasons for African resistance.
         To preserve their culture European come Africa to introduce new culture which was not accepted by African and makes them to react against the imposition of it. Example of new culture which imposed by European people was like monogamy and Christianity religion.
         To defend social and political sovereignty African chiefs found that the positions of power were eroded by European so they fought in order to defend their position. Example Samore Toure of the Mandika people, Mkwawa of the Hehe and Kabarega of Bunyoro.
          The wanted to protect their economic interests the coming of the white men in Africa caused the monopolized of trade which were very important to African. So the solution of returning it was to resist against them. Eg. Nyamwezi fought against German because German wanted to control long distance trade which was backbone of Isike economy.
          Forced labour the Africans people were forced to work in mining centers and plantation under very hard working condition, which caused the African started to react against them. Eg. At rufiji valley we were observing Matimbi people resist against German imposition of cotton growing scheme.
          Land question during that time the all fertile land and those area which contain minerals they were taken by European people and Africa were pushed to the reserved areas which had shortage of water and unfertile. Eg. We observe south Africa, Zimbabwe and kikuyu highland in Kenya.
           Taxation son after European coming in Africa were started established the various tax which were poll tax, Animals tax and Hat tax. For those who failed to pay a tax they were punished so due to this Africa decided to react against them.
           Harsh treatment the Africa people who failed to obey the rules and order which introduced by whites people during that time they were whipped or killing by European people. This led African to react against imposition of colonial rule in Africa.   
           Therefore the evils which done by European people during the imposition of colonial rule in Africa were led some Africans to react against them.      http://www.swahiliteknolojia.blogspot.com
2.       “Migrant labour was very usefully to the capitalist during the colonial economy in Africa” substantiate this statement by giving six points.
        Migrant labour was the system of shifted labour  from their origin land  to another area. The labour were highly demanded in plantation and mining centers. The following was the reasons of capitalist to use migrant labour during the colonial economy in Africa.
        It was very cheap because the labourers were paid low wages to sustain a single person needs. The workers family remained at home in some far of rural areas where they grew food to feed themselves.
        It provided ready Markets for European Manufactured goods the labour who stayed in the dormitories in a large number bought industrial goods which were imported Europe.
        It reduced resistance against the colonizers the labourers were recruited from different geographical region and with different culture which makes them difficult to unity together so as to resist against European people.
        It ensured reliable and constant supply of labour the labourers were kept in the dormitories in which the number of them was maintained. It was easy to control truancy and absenteeism of the workers.
        Owner of the plantation and mine made profit from them because it was easier to collect tax from them also the paid rent for the house where they stay.
         They were less trouble maker because the coming from far which can make them difficult to blame to return at home up to end of contact.
Therefore the migrant labour were very important to European people because it able them to get more profit from this migrants labourers.             




3.       Explain the effects of the development of triangular trade in Africa.
            Triangular trade was trade across Atlantic Ocean, the trade operated between the coast of West Africa, America and Europe. So the following was the effects of the development of triangular trade in Africa.
            Depopulation because Many people died when were sent to abroad as slave and others leave the continent that resulted to the decreased number of people in African continent.
            Create fear to the African people due to the frequent raid and ambush the Africa people find the area for escaping due to high fearing of be taken as the slave by those people who were engaging in that  slave trade.
          Separation of family some African people were taken as the slave and leave their family alone
        Decline of local industries through taken technologist as the slave and live those people a special children and elders who had not skills and power for building those local industries 
        Emergence of mullattos during the process of raiding the village communities sometimes those raiders raped African women as resulted into birth of the emergence of mullatos
        Emergence of free state like Sierra Leone (1787) and Liberia(1820s) these two African countries formed as settlement for ex – slaves that means soon after the end of triangular trade those African who were send to Europe were return Africa in those free states.
         Loss of manpower people who have the power to make production was taken as the slaves this led African to undergo under development. Because those people who were depended by African people to generate economy was taken to America.
           All in all the trade was not good for African due to the reasons which I have tried to mention above

4.       Elaborate six reasons which made Boers to escape the southern African cape between 1830 and 1850.
                Boers trek was the movement of Boers from the cap to the interior/north, the Boers settle at Natal, Transvaal and Orange Free State by which establish their own government known as Boers Republic. The following was the reasons which made Boers to escape the southern Africa cape between 1830 and 1850.
                Abolition of slave trade at the cape before the coming of British at the cape Boers used African as slave to work for them but when British arrive at the cape the introduce abolition slave trade because of being inhuman. Due to that the decided to move to another place were slave not abolished.
               Introduction of English language as official language before the coming of British in south Africa official language used at the cape was Afrikaner language which developed due to contact between Dutch and native people of south Africa but when British arrive they force English to be used as the official language instead of Afrikaner language therefore due to that Boers decided to move northward.
             British occupation and domination at the cape before the British arrive the Boers were the master controller of the cape but after occurrence of Napoleonic war British become the victory hence control the cape and Dutch move because the didn’t want to be under control of other white people.
           Introduction of Anglican Church this cause Dutch to move because the Boers people were belong to Orthodox Church and before arrive of British Orthodox was the sole Christianity church existed at the cape but the arrive of British they introduce Anglican Church which create competition with Orthodox Church that’s why Boers found it was better to go another place.
          Imposition of laws which insist on equal treatment Boers people were regarded as above the law and they cannot be judged as the same way with the African’s because according to them they were regarded themselves as the superior but when British became the master there at the cape introduced laws which treat people not according to the color which they have. So this can cause Boers to move
         Increase the number of investors at the cape 19thcentury many whites from European countries become interested to invest in South Africa especially at the cape and going so it create the shortage of land at the cape. Therefore Boers because of being agriculture they were in needs of enough land of agriculture so they were decided to move north where there was plenty land for agriculture.
         Therefore the arrive of British at the cape of South Africa was the great reason for the Boers to move from the cape to the northward of South Africa.
