The conference took place in Berlin, Germany's capital city. During this conference, Africa was divided into various European nations. They wanted to divide Africa into different states so that they could gain control over the continent's plentiful renewable resources for their industrial development.
Q4. What is meant by 'Corn Laws'?
Ans: The Corn Laws were tariffs & other trade restrictions which was imposed on imported food & grain and was enforced in the UK between 1815 & 1846. The Corn Laws also increased land ownership income and political control. The laws increased food prices and living costs for the British population and impeded the development of other UK economic industries , such as manufacturing, by reducing the British public's disposable income.

Q6. Describe the Canal Colonies where and Why were they introduced?
Ans: In the 19th century, "Canal Colonies" were the regions irrigated by the new canals that were constructed by the British and Indian Government. In Punjab they were launched. They have been developed to transform wasteland into fertile farmland to cultivate wheat and cotton for export.
Q7. How did the global transfer of disease in pre- modern world helped in colonisation of the Americas?
Ans: Global disease transfers in the pre-modern world have contributed to American colonization because the Indians of the native Americas are unable to cope with the diseases brought by colonists and settlers. The Romans were more or less immune to small poxes, but the American tribes, who for millions of years were cut off from the rest of the planet, didn't shield themselves. Such germs had ravaged whole populations and ruined them, opening the way for global domination. Guns and soldiers may be killed or seized, but illnesses could not be combated.
Q8. How did Rinderpest become instrumental In subjugating the Africans?
Ans: (i) The loss of 90 percent of the cattle had destroyed African livelihoods.
(ii) Mine owners, colonial govts, & planters had then successfully monopolized scarce cattle resources that had remained, so as to strengthen their control & power and had forced Africans into the labor market.
(iii) Control over limited resource of cattle had facilitated European colonizers to conquer & suppress Africa
