Slavery and royal rivalries. In the following decades, the Kingdom of Kongo became a major source of slaves for Portuguese traders and other European powers. ... A common characteristic of political life in the kingdom of Kongo was fierce competition over succession to the throne.


The Kongo king played a primary role in the highly centralized political and social structures. He retained the right to appoint and remove officials, but his authority was checked by the council of elders and the traditional rights of clan chiefs.

The Kongo king played a primary role in the highly centralized political and social structures. He retained the right to appoint and remove officials, but his authority was checked by the council of elders and the traditional rights of clan chiefs. After the rule of Affonso I (1506 to about 1545), only his descendants could claim succession to the throne. Disputes between claimants to the throne were common. The position usually fell to the individual who gained the support of the royal court and the approval of the electoral college, whose responsibility it was to designate the new king.

What is isolationism?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Isolationism is described as <u>D.internally focused foreign policy</u>

Explanation:

Isolationism is a foreign policy that believes in the government having an 'internal focus' where the government should try to improve to solve national problems before taking care of issues that are far from home.

Isolationism can be both political and economic. A isolationist political policy would mean that a country decides not to take part in world events and instead use their funds and energy internally.

An example of this can be countries like Switzerland, which do not take part in international wars and missions and only recently joined the UN.

An economic isolationist policy is when a country decides to not trade freely around the world. This might be to safeguard local natural resources or against foreign competition. There have been many examples of such countries, one of the best known being Japan in the early 15th century.
