Question

Which of the following factors contributed to the increased unrest in West Africa during the Atlantic slave trade?

A;Many Portuguese traders resettled and colonized the West African coast.
B;Many West Africans relocated to East Africa to avoid becoming caught up by the slave trade.
C;Many Arab traders stopped coming to West Africa as a result of the slave trade.
D;Many Portuguese traders sold weapons to West Africans in exchange for enslaved Africans.

Answer 1

D is the correct answer I believe. I mean it makes the most sense because A is true then the portugese would'nt put up with much unrest. B can't be true because if they were relocating then there would be no unrest because nobody would be there. and just because traders didnt show up doesn't mean there was unrest. thats why I think D is correct because supplying weapons to warring tribes would certainlt cause unrest. Hope this helps :)
