The world economic system that developed after 1500 featured unequal relationships between western Europe and dependent economics in other regions. Strong governments and large armies fed European dominance of world trade. Dependent economies used slave or serf labor to produce cheap foods and minerals for Europe, and they imported more expensive European items in turn. Dependent regions had weak governments, which made European conquest and slave systems possible. Which of the following best supports the ontentions of the world economic theory in the passage?

b. Latin America exported sugar and silver and imported manufactured items.
