Question 1MediumLevel 59
How can Dutch control over teak forests in Java be linked with the colonial economy?
Correct answer: A
Java’s teak forests were important to the Dutch colonial economy because teak was strong, durable timber used in shipbuilding and other commercial purposes. By controlling forests, the Dutch administration could regulate extraction, trade, and revenue from timber. Option B is incorrect because teak had uses beyond local household needs. Exam tip: connect colonial forest policy with state control over valuable forest products and profit.
