Answer:
The broader historical situation in Africa at the time that Jean Barbot wrote his book was that dutch was making profit by exporting slaves in Spaniards and goods such as wax, pepper , red wood, and cloths, etc at that time. According to the text,"roughly eight thousand slaves, most of whom were sent to the Dutch island of Curacao in the Caribbean, from where the Spaniards purchase the slaves. The Dutch also export from West Africa vast quantities of wax, pepper, red wood, cloths, and other goods.”ONE way in which the passage illustrates the continuing development of the Atlantic in the seventeenth century is that the dutch took the control over the Africa and and used prisoners and black Africans as slaves. They first became friends with the African people and then they took control over them. ONE way in which Barbot’s background might have influenced his comments about the Dutch and the Portuguese in the second paragraph. That paragraph talks about how the dutches were really curious about everything and gave africa a name by reconstructions those buildings nicely and then by using advanced technology such as gunpowder. According to the text," thirty good pieces of brass cannon, large amounts of gunpowder, and a great deal of other ammunition. It was not nearly as strong nor as beautiful when the Portuguese controlled it". It also talks about how Portuguese was nothing compared to the dutch at that time because they nearly controlled everything.
