What effect of the colonial crisis is clear from the greater security of the wealthy in Maasai society?

Correct answer: The crisis widened inequality between the rich and the poor within society

Colonial crises, including epidemics, loss of livestock, and restrictions on grazing lands, did not affect all Maasai equally. Wealthy people had more cattle and resources to recover, while poorer pastoralists became more vulnerable after losing livestock. Thus, the crisis widened inequality between the rich and the poor. Option B is incorrect because security was not equal. Exam tip: Link loss of livestock with growing social inequality when answering about colonial impacts on the Maasai.
