Answer 2

The best way to fill in the blanks in this question, would be as follows:

European imperialism brought about many changes in the African continent. Europeans forced Africans to grow cash-crops. This way of growing crops benefited Europeans while generating a huge economic dependency on the part of Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imperialism brought about a lot of changes to many parts of the world, but never as much as it did with Africa. The reason is that as European nations took control of different parts of the continent, and established trade there, they exploited these regions economically to benefit themselves even at the expense of Africans. In this way, African nations were forced to survive and become dependent on cash-crops like sugar, coffee, and cocoa, and rely entirely on their European owners. At the same time, as this dependency grew, not only socially, but also politically and environmentally, the African continent was changed and all to benefit European nations that would become the first recepients of the goods.
