    2 the loss of cattle destroyed African livelihoods.
    3. Planters, mine owners and colonial governments monopolized the remaining cattle resources and strengthened there power. They force the Africans into the labour market.
    4 control over the remaining cattle resource enabled European colonizers to conquer and subdue Africa.
