The most significant point of contact between Europeans and Africans after 1450 was the transatlantic slave trade. This brutal system saw millions of Africans forcibly transported to the Americas to work on plantations, fundamentally altering Demographics, economies, and societies on both continents. The trade established a complex network of commerce that included European goods, African slaves, and American resources, profoundly impacting global history. Additionally, it facilitated cultural exchanges and the spread of European influence in Africa, leading to long-lasting consequences.
yes.

It depends what time period. During the time of First Century BC, China influenced Europeans with new inventions. (Compass, fireworks) etc. But during the latest centuries, Europeans influenced the chinese with military stuff. (Aircraft etc.)
One benefit to Europeans from their involvement in the Crusades was the expansion of trade networks. The Crusades facilitated increased contact between Europe and the East, leading to the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures. This interaction introduced Europeans to new products such as spices, silk, and other luxury items, ultimately enriching European economies and contributing to the growth of merchant classes. Additionally, the Crusades spurred advancements in navigation and shipbuilding, further enhancing trade opportunities.
The Crusades facilitated the exchange of ideas and goods between Europeans and Muslims by creating direct contact between the two cultures. As European crusaders traveled to the Holy Land, they encountered advanced Muslim knowledge in areas such as science, medicine, and philosophy, which they brought back to Europe. Additionally, trade routes were established, allowing for the exchange of luxury goods like spices, textiles, and precious metals. This interaction ultimately contributed to the intellectual and cultural revival of Europe during the Renaissance.
The European contact with Africans affected the Africans mainly by the slave trade. The economy was greatly affected.
The first Europeans to come into contact with black Africans were likely the ancient Greeks and Romans through their interactions with the North African civilizations such as Egypt and Carthage. Through trade and military conquests, they would have encountered black Africans in these regions.
Yes. The Europeans just had to make contact with the Muslim Arab slave traders. The Muslims where more than happy to supply all the black africans that the Europeans wanted in exchange for gold and weapons.

Contact with the Europeans changed life in the new world by...?
This is a very big subject but briefly, Africans and Europeans have encountered each other for many centuries, going back to ancient Egypt and Greece. Most of these and later encounters were confined to North Africa. It was only with the fifteenth century voyages of the Portuguese around Africa (on their way to India) that Europeans came into regular contact with Africans south of the Sahara desert. Trading posts and forts were established by the Portuguese around the African coast and as is well known, became bases for the trans-Atlantic slave trade. For most people, living away from the coast, there would have been little or no contact with Europeans. 400 years later at the Berlin Conference in 1990 (the 'Scramble for Africa') Africa was divided almost completely amongst the European powers (Ethiopia and Liberia remained independent) and colonial administration became a fact of daily life for Africans. This lasted until the 1960s when most African countries gained independence.
