Resource and Colonisation
Resource and Colonisation
Resource exploitation played a pivotal role in the process of colonization, as foreign powers sought to capitalize on the abundant natural wealth of colonies for their own economic gain. The allure of rich resources, such as minerals, spices, timber, and agricultural products, motivated foreign invaders to establish control over territories across the globe. India, renowned for its vast reserves of spices, textiles, and precious minerals, became a prime target for colonization by European powers, notably the British.
Colonial powers, lacking sufficient resources within their own territories, sought to extract and exploit the abundant resources of colonies to fuel their industrial economies and enhance their global dominance. This exploitation often led to the depletion and degradation of natural resources in colonized regions, as indigenous populations were subjected to forced labor and environmental degradation.
Which of the following are correct: (a) During the era of European colonial rulers imposed economic policies and trade systems that favored the export of raw materials from colonies to the industrial centers of the colonizers. (b) European powers, colonized various islands in Southeast Asia to control the lucrative spice trade. (c) The African colonization of the Congo Free State was driven by the desire to exploit the region's vast natural resources, particularly rubber. | |||
