Scholars have argued that the slave trade increased the incidence of warfare in West Africa as various states deliberately sought captives whom they could exchange for desired goods from Europe. Osei Bonsu was the Asante King who noted that humanitarian reasons influenced the people who opposed slave trade and would not agree to this view of some scholars. He argued that he had never enslaved people except through war pointing out that<em> wars were not fought to acquire slaves, but for other reasons. Osei Bonsu would see it necessary or him to sell war captives lest they rise against him</em>. Osei Bonsu wondered what he could trade with if he could not trade slaves in exchange or European manufactured goods.
The plan was a system of bilateral trade agreements which also established Comecon to create an economic alliance of socialist countries. This aid allowed countries in Europe to stop relying on American aid and therefore allowed Molotov Plan states to reorganize their trade to the Soviet Union instead.

Explanation:
During the trade expansion, industries were developed and they also flourished.

There was increase in wealth as people made money from the trade.
During the crusades, the church was growing in political power through their militaristism actions. This made people to start doubting the spiritual state of the church. Also, as diseases broke out, the church could not profer solutions to the problems. This led to people "losing faith in the church". At this time too, there was new experiences and ideas people learnt.
