Why were the Portuguese unable to coerce West and Central African states in the 1400s into accepting a subjugated economic and political relationship? What political, military and economic advantages did these Western and Central African states possess that enabled them to resist the efforts at political conquest and economic subjugation by the Portuguese? What alternative approach to a military-based colonial conquest did the Portuguese implement when it became clear that political conquest would be untenable?
