Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Europeans were drawn to Africa in the late nineteenth century because of the continent's abundant mineral and land resources. To construct plantations and mines that would generate fruits and minerals for export to Europe, Europeans migrated to Africa. However, there was a sudden issue: there wasn't enough labour available that would work for pay. The laws governing inheritance were modified, and under the new rules, only one family member may inherit the land. As Italian troops invaded Eritrea in East Africa in the late 1880s, sick cattle transported from British Asia spread Rinderpest over the continent. The loss of cattle damaged African livelihoods.
The correct statement would be Inheritance laws were changed to get more labour.
