The correct answer is A) Africa.
By 1500, Africa supplied almost half the gold in Europe.
In the 1500s, gold was an abundant precious rock in West Africa. Indeed, there were many gold deposits that for the African tribes was nos considered very valuable...until the Europeans arrived and realize how much gold there was. Africans used to trade gold for salt because salt was much need for the conservation of food. European colonies were the ones that took much of the gold from the African colonies to sent it to their European monarchies.
In both cases, neither the French nor the Germans succeeded. Due to lack of supplies, harsh weather conditions, and being in unfamiliar territory, both the French and the Germans were vulnerable to counterattack by the Russians, and eventually defeated.
