The answer is c, loss of lands, loss of trade, and degradation of culture because when the European settlers came to Africa, they tricked the Africans into giving up their and set up colonies form the land they stole, for example, boers ( Dutch soldiers) tricked the Africans in South Africa to giving up the land and then the boers and Africans went to war and the colony of South Africa was made. Europeans took away their trading by making them jobs such as house cleaning and working at the plantations and stuff. Their cultures degraded by the Europeans teaching them Christianity, which they followed and they soom forgot about their original cultures.
