Answer:
1. buffer state is a country lying between two rival or potentially hostile greater powers. Its existence can sometimes be thought to prevent conflict between them. After the Battle of Buxar, the kingdom of Awadh became a buffer state between Bengal and the Mughal territory.
2. We remember Rani Chennamma of Kittur because she was the first woman activist who fought for independence against the British. She stood with her courage and valour against the British. Her brave resistance against the British became the theme for songs, plays for freedom struggle.
3. Mercantilism, also called "commercialism,” is a system in which a country attempts to amass wealth through trade with other countries, exporting more than it imports and increasing stores of gold and precious metals.
