Question

explain the effect of coming of Rinderpest to Africa during the close of 19th century

Answer 1

Africans in the late 1880s were prone to a huge loss of cattle wealth due to a fast spreading cattle plague namely RINDERPEST which was brought by European nations.

It almost killed 90% of African cattle wealth.

After World war 1 (1914-1918) most of the working men were dead and hence resulted in the reduction of work force.

This eventually decreased the household income of Africans after world war 1.
