Nzinga's resistance to the Portuguese affected what trade?

  • Gold trade

  • Salt trade

  • Slave trade

  • Spice trade

Answer

The slave trade indeed took a significant hit as a direct consequence of Nzinga's resistance against Portuguese forces. In challenging Portuguese authority, she disrupted the well-established trade routes, leading to a decrease in the supply of enslaved people to the Portuguese, hampering their trade networks and economic interests in the region.
