Which of the following conclusions about the slave trade is most valid based on the historical record? It affected millions of Africans. It caused Europeans to establish colonies in the Americas. It prevented Brazil from becoming a prosperous country. It caused Africans to unite and support the abolition of slavery.

it affected millions of Africans

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.

the map that was shown mostly had eastern asia highlighted. the answer would mostly likely be "the spread of communism into eastern asia set the stage for the korean war."

hopefully this .
