Question

Which of the following is NOT an example of the typical kind of tool colonialists would use to influence a native society? 1. religion 2.the military 3.infection 4.trade

Answer 1

Answer:

3.infection

Explanation:

The colonialists did use many things to influence and even control native societies.

They used trade to give them simple things they did not have in exchange for valuable things that the colonialists needed or wanted.

They used religion to control their behavior.

They even used the military when it would come down to who had more power.

Infection, though, was not a tool of the colonialists and it actually makes little to no sense.

Answer 2

Colonialists would not use infection to influence the native society. They did, however, use religion, militaristic actions, and trade to manipulate them.
