Freetown was use to facilitate ________ from 1822 to early 20th century.

Antwortdetails

Freetown, which is the capital city of Sierra Leone, was used to facilitate the settlement of freed slaves from 1822 to the early 20th century. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, several British organizations and individuals began advocating for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and the emancipation of enslaved Africans. After the British Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833, which abolished slavery throughout the British Empire, many enslaved Africans were freed and needed a place to settle. In 1822, the British government established a settlement for freed slaves in Freetown, which had been founded by the Sierra Leone Company in 1792 as a home for repatriated Africans and other people of African descent. The freed slaves, known as the "recaptives," were resettled in Freetown and other parts of Sierra Leone. Freetown became a center of resettlement for freed slaves from all over West Africa, and the settlement of the recaptives continued until the early 20th century. Freetown also became a hub for the anti-slavery movement and the promotion of Christianity, as many of the recaptives were evangelized by Christian missionaries and educated in Christian schools. In summary, Freetown was used to facilitate the settlement of freed slaves from 1822 to the early 20th century, as the British government established a settlement for them in the city.

The move towards regional governance was part of the process of granting more autonomy to the different parts of Nigeria and laying the foundations for its eventual independence from British colonial rule in 1960.

The Mahdist rebel against the Egyptian authority was a success due to

Antwortdetails

The Mahdist rebellion against the Egyptian authority was successful due to widespread support. The Mahdist rebellion was a religious and political movement that began in the late 19th century in Sudan. The movement was led by Muhammad Ahmad, who claimed to be the Mahdi or savior of Islam. The Mahdi and his followers were opposed to the Egyptian authorities, who were seen as corrupt and oppressive. One of the main reasons for the success of the Mahdist rebellion was the widespread support it received from the Sudanese people. The Mahdi was able to mobilize large numbers of people by appealing to their religious beliefs and promising to overthrow the Egyptian authorities and establish a just and fair Islamic state. The Mahdi's message resonated with many Sudanese who were unhappy with the Egyptian authorities and saw the Mahdi as a legitimate leader who could bring about positive change. In addition to the support of the people, the Mahdi's forces were also successful in military engagements with the Egyptian authorities. The Mahdi and his followers were able to defeat Egyptian armies in several battles, which further strengthened their position and weakened the authority of the Egyptian government. While the leadership skills of Gordon, the British Governor-General of Sudan, have been questioned in the aftermath of the rebellion, it is important to note that the rebellion was largely a result of popular dissatisfaction with the Egyptian authorities and their policies in Sudan.

The _________ wield the administrative power over other Yoruba land in 19th century.

Antwortdetails

The Oyo empire wielded the administrative power over other Yoruba land in the 19th century. The Oyo empire was a powerful kingdom that emerged in what is now southwestern Nigeria in the 14th century. At its peak in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Oyo empire was one of the most powerful states in West Africa and had significant influence over other Yoruba-speaking communities in the region. In the 19th century, the Oyo empire continued to exercise significant administrative power over other Yoruba lands. The empire had a well-structured administrative system with a central authority and local chiefs who had various responsibilities such as collecting taxes and maintaining law and order. The Oyo empire also had a powerful army which was used to maintain its authority over other Yoruba-speaking communities and protect its borders from external threats. Despite its power, the Oyo empire faced several challenges in the 19th century, including conflicts with other Yoruba states and European powers who were beginning to colonize the region. These challenges eventually led to the decline of the Oyo empire and the fragmentation of the Yoruba-speaking communities in the region.

Imperialism is often characterized by the exploitation of the labor and resources of the colonized people for the benefit of the imperial power.

The second military coup d' e tat in Nigeria took place on

Antwortdetails

The second military coup d'état in Nigeria took place on July 29, 1966. This coup was carried out by a group of military officers, mainly from the Igbo ethnic group, in response to the first military coup which had taken place on January 15, 1966. The January 1966 coup was led by mostly Igbo officers who overthrew the democratic government of Nigeria, which led to the assassination of several prominent Nigerian politicians from the Northern and Western regions. The July 1966 coup was a retaliatory response by Northern Nigerian military officers who overthrew the military government that came to power after the January coup. The coup was a violent and bloody one, and it led to the death of the then Head of State, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, who was from the Igbo ethnic group. This event further exacerbated the already-tense ethnic and regional divisions within Nigeria, which ultimately led to the outbreak of the Nigerian Civil War in 1967.

Antwortdetails

The discovery of Terracotta in 1928 on NOK soil in Kaduna state was made by Colonel Dent Young, a British colonial administrator who was serving as the Resident of the Northern Province of Nigeria at the time. During a routine inspection of a tin mine in the village of Nok, Young stumbled upon some strange objects that turned out to be ancient terracotta sculptures. These sculptures were unlike anything he had seen before, and he immediately recognized their significance. Young made the discovery of the Nok Terracotta figurines by chance, but his efforts to document and preserve the findings helped to launch the study of ancient Nigerian art and culture. Today, the Nok Terracotta remains a crucial piece of African history, and a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria.

There, he was rescued by Christian missionaries and educated at the Fourah Bay College in Freetown, where he became a teacher and a Christian missionary. In 1843, Crowther was selected to be part of the Niger expedition, which aimed to explore and open up the River Niger for trade and missionary work. Crowther played a key role in the expedition, acting as an interpreter and mediator between the expedition members and the local communities they encountered.

The trans-Atlantic slave trade was displace with search for raw materials by the British due to ___________

Antwortdetails

The trans-Atlantic slave trade was replaced with a search for raw materials by the British due to the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution, which began in Britain in the late 18th century, brought about a massive increase in the demand for raw materials to fuel the growth of new industries. The British, who were at the forefront of this economic transformation, began to look for new sources of raw materials to feed their growing factories. This led to a shift away from the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which had been a major source of labor for British colonies in the Americas, and towards the search for raw materials in other parts of the world. This change had a profound impact on the global economy and shaped the course of world history in the 19th and 20th centuries.
