Discussion
With reference to the impact of colonialism, consider the following statements :
1) Drain of resources
2) Slave trade
3) Proselytisation
4) Static life style.
Which of the statement given above is correct ?
Answer: B
Statements 1, 2 and 3 are impacts of colonialism, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Colonial rule drained resources from the colonies to the imperial country, the Atlantic slave trade carried millions of Africans to the Americas, and missionaries working under colonial protection pursued proselytisation.
A static life style is the opposite of what colonialism produced. It disrupted traditional economies and societies through new land systems, cash crops, migration and urban growth, so statement 4 is not an impact, and the options that include it are wrong.
