Content: All of Europe craved such sparkles, but there was so much more in that vast continent to feed an ever developing Western world. Rubber had been discovered at the perfect time. Industrialization was exploding across the European continent. The advancements needed what Africa had to offer. They were taken out of the land and used abroad. Africa had no basis to use their resources. They only knew how to extract them and send them over the waters. These resources were obtained cheaply so that Europe could sell at a high profit. Africa had no basis for a manufacturing economy or to be self-sustained in order to compete on that global stage as European colonialism “made African trade to be mainly export/import oriented.” Add to that the curse of freedom and Africa was doomed.
