Answer:

The Portuguese had their sugar plantations in the islands of Madeira and Sao Tome.

Explanation:

-The island of Madeira is an island located in the Atlantic Ocean, west of the African coast.  The first relevant agricultural activity was the harvest of wheat grain. Initially, colonists produced wheat for their own subsistence, but later it became an export product for the kingdom.

However, cereal production went into decline. To overcome the crisis, Prince Henry ordered the sugarcane to be planted on the island. The production of sugar attracted the island to Jewish, Genoese and Portuguese merchants.

The cultivation of sugar cane was by excellence the engine of the economy of the island. The production of sugar grew in such a way that a great need for labor arose. To cope with this shortage, slaves were brought to the island from the Canary Islands, Morocco, Mauritania and, subsequently, from other parts of Africa. The cultivation and industry of sugarcane was developed until the seventeenth century.

-Sao Tome is the largest island of Sao Tome and Principe, which was a Portuguese colony in Africa until 1975.  By the middle of the sixteenth century, and with the help of the slaves, Portuguese settlers had turned the islands into the main exporter of sugar from Africa.

Help please!!!!!<br><br> What does post-classical Eurasia mean?????
Solnce55 [7]
The Classical Era set the scene. It brought us the major civilizations, religions, and trade routes. But, what happens when all of the major world powers collapse? This is the Post-Classical era. The major world powers come from places you might not expect. There are some powers that are similar to the ones before and the ones after (Byzantine, China). But, the major players in the Post-Classical era come from totally backwards places. One sprouts out of a cave in the Arabian desert. The other comes from the base of a mountain on the steppes in Central Asia. I call this era, Muslims & Mongols. That's not everything, but it just about sums up the basics. (Of course, Trade, Migrations, Religion, and Labor are important...) The Post Classical Era is the FIRST era that represents 20% of the test. From here on out, these eras are worth more than the first two.
