We were always a major part in the world trade. Since at least 1000 C.E., men from everywhere wanted to come here to get some of the most expensive articles: gold, ivory, and slaves. Unfortunately, our military was to weak to defend ourselves from the powerful European empires. They quickly took control of our lands and our resources. The Dutch were at Cape Colony along with the French and the German, the British were on the West coast, and the Spanish in the North. It quickly became clear that the only reason why they were in our country was for slavery. Our gold production was done and I heard that apparently they found a bigger source in the Americas. The kept trading the slaves with us because they couldn’t go inland to get them themselves. We didn’t have the military power or the expertise to do so, they needed us. They were harsh and cruel with our people, but they paid us money we couldn’t refuse. Our job was to go inland, find people, enslave them, and bring them back to the Europeans. In the end, we delivered almost 12 million slaves over less the 400 years. ||  |||||| Username: AFRICA (1650) |||||| ** Status: ** Creating the Songhay Empire right now.
