What does Africa contribute to the world?

The continent holds a huge proportion of the world's natural resources, both renewables and non-renewables. Africa is home to some 30 percent of the world's mineral reserves, eight per cent of the world's natural Gas and 12 per cent of the world's oil reserves.

What did Africa trade with Europe?

Traders from Europe went to West Africa and offered cloth, rum, salt, and other goods in exchange for slaves. Many Africans became wealthy by trading slaves for goods like these. In addition to these goods, the European traders also offered to trade guns for slaves.

How did the triangular trade benefit Europeans?

Answer and Explanation: Triangular trade benefited European nations because it opened new markets for their own goods while also enabling them to obtain trade commodities that could be exchanged for goods produced in the West Indies.

What goods were shipped from Africa to the Americas?

It was the second of three stages of the so-called triangular trade, in which arms, textiles, and wine were shipped from Europe to Africa, enslaved people from Africa to the Americas, and sugar and coffee from the Americas to Europe.
