Why did Europe have little contact with Africa south of the Sahara before the 1700?

∙ 8y ago
The general opinion at the time was that sub-Sahara Africa had little to offer of commercial interest, and what little there was could already be had by establishing a trading post on the coast. Postings there were highly unpopular too, as tropical diseases tended to kill at least 50% of all Europeans within a few months after arrival.
