Answer Details
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.

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.

Answer Details
The trans-Atlantic slave trade was replaced with a search for raw materials by the British due to the industrial revolution.

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.
