Detailed Solution

The cattle plague spread like wildfire in Africa in the 1890s. Cattle are prone to Rinderpest, a highly contagious viral disease known as cattle plague. The virus first entered Africa from the east, but after moving swiftly west "like a forest fire," it finally reached the Atlantic coast of the continent in 1892. Later, in the 1880s, Rinderpest made its debut in Africa. Feeding on ill animals imported from British Asia, Italian forces occupied Eritrea in Eastern Africa. As it sped over Africa, 90% of the domestic cattle were killed, leaving a tragedy. The end was "the huge African rinderpest pandemic of the 20th century."
