Answer:
Rinderpest was a cattle epidemic that came to Africa with the infected meat imported from British Asia to feed the Italian soldiers invading Eritrea in East Africa. It came with the horses which were imported from British Asia. It killed more than 90 percent of the live stocks in Africa, making them dependent on Europeans for food and turned them subservient. Rinderpest spread in the African continent like the forest fire. It reached to western coast of Africa by 1892 and within five years after that, it reached to southernmost tip of the continent. Loss of cattle meant loss of livelihood for the Africans. They had no choice but to work as labourers in plantations and mines. Thus, a cattle disease enabled the Europeans to colonise Africa.
