Question 2.
\nHow is the word ‘discovery’ and ‘exploration’ used by Europeans? What did it mean to people who were already living in those geographical locations?
\nAnswer:
\nDiscovery:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The word “discovery” means “finding something that we did not know about it before”.<\/li>\n
  • But in European concept “discovery” is to find faster and easier routes to countries like India, China etc., without passing through regions controlled by Italian traders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Exploration :<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The step next to discovery is exploration.<\/li>\n
    • Exploration in European context means “Sending expedition to countries and finding out what resources were available.”<\/li>\n
    • Europeans explored the backward African and Asian countries for natural resources like, gold, silver, silk, porcelain etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Views of native people :<\/p>\n

        \n
      • But the Europeans did not explore these countries but exploited them.<\/li>\n
      • Virtually the Europeans enslaved them, plundered them, forced them to trade with them etc.<\/li>\n
      • In South America the natives were deprived of their land and were massacred and driven to interiors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Question 3.
        \nWhat role did trade play in the colonisation?
        \n(OR)
        \n“Trade played a major role in the colonisation.” Do you agree? Why?
        \nAnswer:
        \nYes. I agree with this statement.
        \nReasons:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Trade played an important role in colonizations.<\/li>\n
        • Trading items include silk, porcelain, tea, etc., from China; cotton textiles, steel and spices from India; tin, petroleum, rubber, spices, etc., from Indonesia and natural resources from Africa.<\/li>\n
        • The Europeans had established trading centres in these countries.<\/li>\n
        • They demanded monopolistic trade relations for the benefit of the colonial powers.<\/li>\n
        • The European powers had bought these exotic goods and sold them in Europe and made high profits.<\/li>\n
        • The first Dutch expedition, for example, fetched about 400% profit on its investment.<\/li>\n
        • As much of 25% of the Dutch government budget came from these profits.<\/li>\n
        • The English people forced Indians to produce opium and sold that opium in China and earned heavy profits.<\/li>\n
        • Thus trade played an important role in colonization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Question 4.
          \nHow did the lives of native people in different countries affect the colonisation? Write two ideas each in the context of – crops cultivated\/religion\/use of natural resources – for the three continents.
          \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Most of the countries were self-sufficient before colonization.<\/li>\n
          • These colonies were impoverished during colonial powers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Crops cultivated :<\/p>\n

              \n
            • They were cultivating food crops and the colonies in all three continents were forced to cultivate commercial crops.<\/li>\n
            • There were shortage of food items and famines and droughts were frequent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Religion :<\/p>\n

                \n
              • In Asia people were Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists. In Indonesia Muslims were massacred and forced to convert into Roman Catholism.<\/li>\n
              • In other continents also the Catholic Church played important role in the governance of the colonies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Use of natural resources :<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • All the natural resources like gold, diamonds, silver, iron, coal, tin, rubber, silk, copper were plundered and taken into their countries.<\/li>\n
                • Colonial powers developed industries in their countries with these resources.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  Question 7.
                  \nIf you were a citizen of Britain, could you support its colonisation? As an Indian citizen could you support or reject colonisation. Give a brief account of your views.
                  \nAnswer:
                  \nAttitudes towards colonialism have varied greatly from time to time and from place to place. I think this is ever present truth that the strong dominate the weak.<\/p>\n

                  If I were a citizen of Britian or as Indian I strongly oppose this colonisation. Because every living being in this world has the freedom in the world. So I don’t like to arrest the others’ freedom.<\/p>\n
