Question

question 6 of 10 what was one factor that contributed to the enormous loss of life indigenous peoples experienced after european colonization? a. colonists urged indigenous peoples to keep their traditions. b. colonists forced indigenous peoples off their homelands. c. colonists allowed indigenous peoples to share resources. d. colonists shared new technology with indigenous peoples.

Explanation:

• Option A is incorrect because colonists typically tried to suppress Indigenous traditions, not urge them to keep them.
• Option B is correct. Forcing Indigenous peoples off their homelands disrupted their way of life, access to resources, and exposed them to new hardships, contributing to loss of life.
• Option C is incorrect as colonists often took resources from Indigenous peoples rather than allowing sharing.
• Option D is incorrect as the sharing of technology was not a primary factor in the loss of life; in fact, colonists often used technology to oppress Indigenous peoples.

Answer:

B. Colonists forced Indigenous peoples off their homelands.
