. (i) Europeans were attracted due to the resources of land
and minerals of Africa.

(ii) They came to Africa to establish plantations and
exploit mines.

(iii) African countries were militarily weak and backward.
So, it was easy to conquer them.

OR

The gomasthas were appointed by the British to supervise weavers,
collect supplies and examine the quality of cloth.

As time passed, new
gomasthas who were outside and did not have any long-term social link with the
village acted arrogantly with the villagers, marched into the village with
sepoys and peons and punished weavers for delays in supply-often beating and
flogging them. This was an act which was
very similar to the manner in which British dealt with defaulters. In this
manner, gomasthas became good partners in British management system.

OR

(i) Women gradually
lost their industrial jobs and were forced to work within households.

(ii) Through the activities of tailoring, washing or
match-box making they could increase their income.

(iii) Large number of children were pushed into low paid
work.

HEY MATE

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

1. IT IS BECAUSE AFRICA WAS RICH WITH PRECIOUS MINERALS WHICH WERE NOT EXPLOITED AT THAT TIME AND THEY ALSO WANTED TO EXPLOITE THE MINES.
2. THE AFRICAN PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT ENGAGED IN AGRICULTURE OR ANIMAL HUSBANDRY WERE EASY TO MAKE AS THEIR SLAVES.
3. AFRICA WAS A NEW LAND WITH MANY DIFFERENT THINGS LIKE CULTURE, FOOD ITEMS, ETC. WHICH ATTRACTED THE COMPANIES FOR TRANSFER OF THE THINGS.
