The colonization of America may cause the price of gold to increase so that the West African kingdoms can become even more prosperous.

a. It would cause the price of gold to increase so that West African kingdoms became even more prosperous.

Explanation:

Timbuktu faces some minor effects as its gold markets are not primarily European. The demand of African gold is decreased as Europe acquires gold from its American colonies.

The Europeans seek Africa for a wellspring of work to use in the Americas since European sicknesses cleared out a great part of the indigenous work power.
