Africa

For centuries, merchants and traders used land and sea routes to travel between Europe Africa and Asia. Before the first European voyages to the Americas, a global trading network linked the major civilizations of three continents.

There are several reasons behind the low development level of African economies and their excessive dependence on commodity production and exports, protectionist trade policies, weak transport infrastructure, poor trade logistics, and high security risks.

Antarctica would be the continent that would be difficult to connect to via trade routes.

Why will Antarctica be the continent that would be difficult to connect

Antarctica is a largely uninhabited continent covered by ice and snow, and it lacks the infrastructure and conditions necessary for conventional trade routes.

The other continents mentioned (Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America) are more easily connected through established trade routes due to their geographical proximity, infrastructure, and economic activities.
