7 MILLION PEOPLE.
It is crazy to even imagine that 7 MILLION PEOPLE in this world were lost.
The answer is B: a larger urban population.
One statistic that has functioned steadily as an indicator of the level of industrialization and economic development in countries is the percentage of people living in urban areas, that is to say, people living in cities rather than on rural lands. It is a good indicator because this allows one to infer that the population of such a country is employed not in farming or fishing, but rather in industrial labor, the service industry or forms of human capital exploitation.
The correct answer is D - In 1902 Britain wins the South African War and takes over the Transvaal.
The word imperialism means <em>“a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through colonization, use of military force and other means”</em>. This is exactly what happened at the South African War.
The Boer South African Republic (Transvaal) wanted independence - maintain their cultural style, religious beliefs, own language and their way of life - but Britain had interests in that area - especially the gold mines. This is all classic imperialism traits.
