The Effects of European Colonization in Nigeria HISTORY SCHEME OF WORK JSS TWO  THIRD TERM

HISTORY

1. Effects of the coming of the Europeans to Nigeria territory:
– Introduction of Western education: The Europeans brought formal education to Nigeria, which led to the establishment of schools and the spread of literacy among Nigerians.
– Economic transformation: The Europeans introduced new economic systems such as cash crops, trade, and industrialization, which significantly impacted the Nigerian economy and altered traditional agricultural practices.
– Political changes: The arrival of the Europeans led to the colonization of Nigeria, resulting in the imposition of colonial rule, the displacement of traditional political systems, and the introduction of European-style governance.

2. Centralized state: A centralized state refers to a form of government where power and decision-making authority are concentrated in a central authority or governing body.
Non-centralized state: A non-centralized state refers to a form of government where power and decision-making authority are distributed among various regional or local authorities, and there is no strong central governing body.

3. Examples of centralized states:
– Monarchy: A country like the United Kingdom, where power is vested in a single monarch who exercises control over the entire nation.
– Dictatorship: North Korea, where power is centralized in the hands of a single leader, Kim Jong-un, who has absolute authority over the state.
– Absolute monarchy: Saudi Arabia, where the ruling monarch holds complete political power and makes all major decisions.

Examples of non-centralized states:
– Confederation: The European Union, where power is shared among member states, and decisions are made through negotiations and consensus.
– Federation: The United States of America, where power is divided between the central government and individual states, each with their own governing systems.
– Tribal societies: Some indigenous communities in Africa, such as the Maasai in Kenya, where power is decentralized among tribal leaders and decisions are made collectively within the community.
