Answer 2

The options of the question are:

A. Both countries' colonists were entirely welcomed by the Africans.

B. Both countries' colonists were met with resistance from Africans.

C. Both countries' colonists were avoided completely by the Africans.

D. Both countries' colonists were soundly defeated by African armies.

The correct answer is B) Both countries' colonists were met with resistance from Africans.

The Portuguese colonial experience in Africa in the 1520s was similar to that of the Dutch in the 1650s because both countries' colonists were met with resistance from Africans.

The Portuguese and the Dutch had expansionist motivations when they arrived in Africa. Both nations had their own military, political, and trade agenda. But when Portugal and Dutchland wanted to colonize Africa, the African people seriously opposed in violent and non-violent ways. The colonial experience for the Portuguese and the Dutch was complicated and not as fast as they thought.
