Question: What is rinderpest? Who brought it to Africa? How did rinderpest help the Europeans to conquer Africa?

Answer: Rinderpest is a fatal cattle disease. It was brought into Africa through the cattle that were imported from British Asia. It had entered Africa through the Eastern part of the country and had soon spread to the Southern part as well. It had killed almost 80% to 90% of the cattle. It had greatly affected the transport system of the country. Since there was no source of meat and milk, the Africans suffered a lot due to starvation and lost their livelihood. The Europeans saw this as an opportunity to conquer and control the scarce resources of Africa.
