The prosperity of French colonies like San Domingo was based on which contradiction?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Profit in European markets through forced labour of slaves

Option B is correct because the prosperity of colonies such as San Domingo depended on an exploitative plantation economy. Crops including sugar and coffee generated enormous profits for merchants, plantation owners, and traders in European markets, but this wealth was produced through the forced labour of enslaved Africans under brutal conditions. The contradiction was that European claims about civilization, rights, and liberty existed alongside colonial slavery and violence. The system was not based on high wages for free workers, the king’s personal farming, or a tax exemption created by the National Assembly. Colonial prosperity therefore exposed the economic foundation of inequality behind the period’s political ideals.
