The people that have largely shaped African history since the 16th century are the C. European people.

<h3>How has Europe shaped African history?</h3>

The Europeans have perhaps shaped the history of Africa more than any other people. This is outstanding considering that the Europeans only started interacting with most of Africa from the 16th century. The first way they shaped the history of Africa was through slavery.

European people carried millions of Africans from their homeland, and dispersed them across the world, especially in the Americas. This reduced the population of the continent.

Europeans then came and colonized most of Africa. Indeed at some point, more than 90% of Africa was under the control of the Europeans. They used this pwoer to exploit the continent for its resources. Even after Africa gained independence, these European countries still continued to influence the government of African nations, and exploit her resources further.

svp [43]

Answer:

Technology is a growing part of the US economy.

The four largest manufacturing industries in America are computers and electronics; chemicals; food, beverages, and tobacco; petroleum and coal—account for about 51 percent of manufacturing GDP. The top nine sectors constitute approximately 79 percent of manufacturing GDP. These sectors accounted for 68 percent of total manufacturing employment in 2010.

From the above graph, we can see clearly that the technology sector had increased from $225billion in 2006 to about $360billion in 2011, which is about a 60% increase in a span of 5 years, thats a massive growth within a short period.
