Best Answer

The Europeans exploited the minerals and ivory in Africa. They traded in slaves and transported them to the colonies in America where they worked in plantations. The Europeans were consumers of tobacco, sugar, cotton rum and molasses from the plantations.

To place this question in context it refers to the past without a specific time-frame.

It could refer to the early African Kingdoms and the trade routes and products that were traded (main products were salt and gold)

It could refer to the slave trade of the 1600,1700 and 1800's.

It could also trade between Africa and the European continent during the 1800's which lead to large scale colonization of the continent by various European powers.
