If you think of European empire prior to the 19th century, where did they extend their control over other lands? It was mostly in the Western hemisphere. France and Spain and others had large colonial territories in the Americas. During the years following the French Revolution in Europe (which happened at the end of the 18th century), Napoleon came to power and the Napoleonic wars were fought across Europe. The focus of Napoleon's attention was on Europe, not on colonies across the ocean. So, for instance, he sold off the Louisiana Purchase to the United States. Elsewhere across the Americas, native populations took advantage of the changes in Europe to rebel against colonial governments. Napoleon had taken control over Spain and other parts of Europe as well as France, and a wave of independence movements broke out in colonial territories in Central America and South America.
When Europe resumed efforts to extend its control over other parts of the world, later in the 19th century (and into the early 20th century), they shifted their focus to Africa and Asia. There was a race for controlling territories across all of Africa and especially in southeast Asia. In Africa, only Ethiopia and Liberia managed to maintain their independence from European control when that wave of imperialist action took place.

Answer:
The French traded furs for iron tools, kettles, wool blankets, and other supplies, while Native Americans exchanged furs for items from all over the world.
Explanation:
Before Europeans arrived in the mid-1600s, Native Americans traded throughout the rivers of present-day Minnesota and across the Great Lakes. Following that, European American traders traded manufactured products for precious furs with Native Americans for approximately 200 years.
Fur-bearing animals were mostly trapped by the Dakota and Ojibwe in the Northwest Territory. In the region's forests and streams, they obtained a variety of furs, the most important of which was beaver. Traders from France, the United Kingdom, and the United States offered blankets, rifles and ammunition, fabric, metal tools, and brass kettles in return for the furs.
