Read the passage and answer the questions that
follow:
The
process of the imperialist conquest of Asia and Africa was accompanied by
intense rivalries, and conflicts among the European imperialist powers. The
competing claims over colonies often created conditions of war. However,
generally, most of these conflicts were resolved in the conference rooms of
Europe and wars were avoided The European powers settled their rival claims
which country would acquire which territory on the basis of quid pro quo or
‘something for something’, by giving away something in exchange for receiving
something. For example, in 1904, after a long period of conflicting claims,
which had brought them almost to the point of war, Britain and France entered
into a secret agreement whereby Britain was given a free hand in Egypt and in exchange
Morocco was to be given to France When Germany came to know about it, she
demanded that France relinquish her claim to Morocco. A series of international
crises followed, bringing Europe to the brink of war. The Moroccan issue was
finally settled in 1911 when France agreed to give a portion of French Congo to
Germany and Germany informed France that she could do what she liked in
Morocco. In creating these crises and in resolving them, the people of French
Congo or Morocco, whose territories were being bargained, had no say.
