Detalhes da Resposta

The method of order used by Europeans to take over the present-day Nigeria was explorers, traders, missionaries, and imperialists. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European powers, particularly Britain, France, and Germany, began to explore and colonize many parts of Africa. They sent out explorers to map and survey the land, followed by traders who established trading posts and began to trade with local communities. Missionaries also played a significant role in colonization, as they sought to convert Africans to Christianity and establish churches in the region. Finally, the imperialists came, backed by their respective governments, and established colonies and protectorates in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. The Europeans used force and coercion to maintain their dominance, and their methods of colonization had a profound impact on the social, economic, and political structures of the region that is still felt today.

One of these is not a social development under colonial rule.

Detalhes da Resposta

Exploitation is not a social development under colonial rule. Under colonial rule, exploitation was a means for the colonizers to extract resources and labor from the colonized people. This often led to the oppression and marginalization of the colonized people, rather than a social development. Trade relations, the establishment of a common legal system, and the emergence of the press are all social developments that occurred under colonial rule. Trade relations led to the exchange of goods and ideas between different regions and cultures, while the establishment of a common legal system provided a framework for resolving disputes and enforcing laws. The emergence of the press allowed for the dissemination of information and the formation of public opinion.

Detalhes da Resposta

The main factor that led to depopulation of Nigerians around 1715 to 1789 was the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. This involved the capture, transport, and sale of millions of African people, including Nigerians, to European slave traders who took them across the Atlantic to work on plantations and in mines in the Americas. The slave trade resulted in significant loss of life, separation of families, and displacement of communities, which led to depopulation in many parts of Nigeria and other African countries.

The Portuguese were the first set of people to land on the present day Nigeria territory for trading activities. In the late 15th century, the Portuguese began exploring the West African coast, seeking a direct sea route to Asia for trade. In 1471, the Portuguese explorer, Rui de Sequeira, landed on the coast of what is now Nigeria and established trade relations with the local people. The Portuguese were particularly interested in trading for gold, ivory, and pepper, which they found in abundance in the region. They established trade posts and forts along the coast, including in Lagos, which became a major center for trade and commerce. The Portuguese also introduced Christianity to the region and attempted to establish a permanent settlement in the area, but they were met with resistance from the local rulers and were eventually driven out. Overall, the Portuguese played a significant role in the early European exploration and exploitation of West Africa, including what is now Nigeria. They were the first Europeans to establish contact with the local people and to begin trading for valuable resources in the region.

Detalhes da Resposta

The Muslim reform movement has grown due to inspiration from Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries. However, Argentina is not typically recognized as a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement. Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries have all seen significant political and social changes in recent years, which have led to increased interest in reforming traditional interpretations of Islam. These changes have been driven by a variety of factors, including political instability, economic hardship, and social inequality. As a result, many Muslims in these regions have sought new ways to practice their faith and have turned to reform movements as a means of achieving this. In contrast, Argentina is not typically recognized as a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement. While there is a small Muslim community in Argentina, it is not a major center of Islamic scholarship or activism. Therefore, it is less likely to be a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement compared to Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries.

Detalhes da Resposta

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.

Detalhes da Resposta

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.

Detalhes da Resposta

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.
