3 what were the effects of direct rule to the people of Tanganyika?
The system sparked wide spread rebellions as many people
rose up against the harsh akidas and the jumbes rules.
There was the first rise of nationalism because many people
started organizing them selves into revolutionary movements to struggle for their
independence
Many African chiefs were stripped off their powers and
replaced by the akidas and the jumbes from the coast
Africans who were cooperative and loyal to the German were appointed
akidas
There were heavy taxation coupled with cruel methods of
collection which resulted into uprisings
There was forced cash crop growing for example the German
started forced cotton growing which irritated the Africans.
Africans also lost large chunks of their land to the German
settlers who established large plantation growing.
There was a wide spread of discontent and resentment against
the akidas and the jumbles and generally the German rule at large.
People including cheif were brutalized and humiliated as
they were publicly flogged and beaten by the brutal akidas and the jumbes
African cultures and customs were eroded and replaced with
the German styles
There was loss of lives and property was destroyed as the Germans
wanted to suppress the Africans.
Africans were forced to labour for long hours on the German
farms and road works where the little or no pay.
Infrastructure was built to aid the exploitation of
resources eg roads and rail ways ware
constructed.
Previously independent states lost their sovereignty to the German
and were no longer independent
Famine broke out due to unsettled life and the scorched earth
policy which was used by the Germans
Western civilization was promoted as schools and churches
were constructed.
In 1904 direct rule turned into indirect rule under the British
administration.
Thx it's fabulous
