The economists told the writers of the Versailles Treaty that Germany simply did not have the money to pay the amount they were demanding. They told them it would take until 1988 for Germany to pay the debt back. It was basically an impossible demand and Germany would never have been able to pay it all back. See these links.

How did west Africa's geography help the region to develop a strong trans-saharan trade system?

It helped because since west Africa was on the coast of theSahara dessert, they were able to collect sand to make salt and trade/ sell it to nothern africans and other people who couldnt get salt (for food). Our bodies need salt or else we will die.


What fact caused Africa to be more easily conquered by the Europeans?

THEY COLONIZE AFRICA BCAUSE THEY HAD MORE MONEY AND STUFF THE COULDNT AFFORD^^^Firstly, this question is misleading because it wasn't "easy" to colonize Africa. They colonized Africa, possibly catalyzed by the internal oppression (religious, gender, etc.) within Europe during that era in history. There was wide spread greed and corruption which spilled over into the continent of Africa. It was the first leg in the Trans-Atlantic Enslavement.Another possibly reason was the ego-centric culture of the [ancient] Europeans. At the time, most europeans were [still] ignorant to the full histories and cultures of Africa. They still thought the world was flat, for crying out loud./They incorrectly credited the Greeks with the foundation of civilization. This was because the Greeks incorrectly credited Socrates, Aristotle, Plato and others (not before condemning and exiling them for bringing and teaching foreign ideals to Greece). Indeed they get credit for founding civilization in Europe, but those very first Greek philosophers received their knowledge of mythology, philosophy, science, etc. from the ancient Egyptians of Africa./It's 2012 AD, let's stop teaching our children fabrications, half-truths and lies.
