Hi! If you are looking for the word whose meaning is defined by this sentence, I would say that the word you need is exploitation.

Explanation:

Let's remember that exploitation is the act of making use of and benefiting from other's resources, it is the action or fact of treating someone unfairly in order to benefit from their work or abilities. In this case, it is exploitation because this nation or person is vulnerable in some way and allow others to take advantage of their work, abilities, or any other characteristic that can be beneficial. They allow this exploitation probably because they don't have the tools to change their reality or because they don't know how or are under threat, maybe they are uneducated and don't even realize they are being used. To do that to a person or to a nation is called exploitation.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
