The correct answer is:
• The Congo Free State in Africa was impacted by exploitation by Belgium.
• Cuba in Latin America was impacted by debt incurred in an effort to mechanize sugar production.
To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the economic impact of imperialism on Africa and Latin America. In the context of this question, the term "imperialism" refers to the period when European powers exerted their influence and control over other regions, such as Africa and Latin America, for economic and political purposes.
Looking at the options provided, we can eliminate option 4 as it mentions the debt incurred from the construction of the Suez Canal, which is not relevant to the listed primary economic impacts of imperialism.
Now, let's evaluate the remaining options, options 1, 2, and 3.
Option 1 states that the Congo Free State in Africa was impacted by debt owed to Belgium. This implies that the economic impact was due to financial obligations and dependency on Belgium, rather than direct exploitation. This does not accurately represent the primary economic impact of imperialism.
Option 2 states that Cuba in Latin America was impacted by debt incurred in an effort to mechanize sugar production. This implies that the economic impact on Cuba was caused by the need to borrow money for modernizing their sugar production methods. This aligns with the notion of economic exploitation, as it suggests a dependency on foreign investment and technology.
Option 3 states that the Congo Free State in Africa was impacted by exploitation by Belgium, and Cuba in Latin America was impacted by famine. This combination of impacts is not accurate, as there is no mention of famine in any of the options.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
• The Congo Free State in Africa was impacted by exploitation by Belgium.
• Cuba in Latin America was impacted by debt incurred in an effort to mechanize sugar production.
