I’m sorry? I think your question got cut off...
Which country could legally trade with the colonies
The correct answer is A) A country that has little fertile soil.
A country with a small amount of fertile soil is extremely limited in the food/crops they can grow. With this in mind, this country would need to be depend on trade with another country in order to survive. Without this other country helping, the country with a little fertile soil would struggle mightly to survive.
The answer was South Africa.
Rhodes’ ambition was to create a railroad that would connect African colonies
directly to Cairo in Egypt. This was made during the colonial period. Though some parts were constructed, it missed
completion due to rivalry with other European colonial powers.
