4. The Port Wine System in the 1890s

Abstract

the nineteenth century, the port wine trade was one of the most important components of the Portuguese economy.1 British merchants, trading woollens for wine, and later for products from Brazil and other Portuguese colonial possessions, had visited Portugal from at least the early fourteenth century. The beginning during the 1670s of persisting Franco-British hostilities led to radical changes in the British wine trade. Most drinkers in Great Britain, the world's principal wine-importing nation, until then had favoured wines from France at the end of the seven

6. The Golden Age of the Port Wine System, 1781–1807

Abstract

the eighteenth century, the Portuguese export economy, with the exception of one commodity, relied almost exclusively upon products from the overseas territories. The exception the wine produced in a region bordering the middle reaches of the Douro River, and exported from the northern port of Oporto virtually exclusively to the British Isles became European Portugal's most valuable export. During this period, the already close economic and diplomatic ties between Great Britain and Portugal strengthened, each receiving substantial benefits from the other. From the early years of the eighteenth century, British imports had increasingly clothed and fed the Portuguese, while the British appetite for Portuguese wines had provided Portugal with the means to counter British economic dominance. No other trading partner offered Portugal a similar opportunity for profit; indeed, after 1780, the trading balance between the two began to turn in favour of the Portuguese, the result of the combined growth of Portugal's manufacturing and port wine sectors, plus the favourable commerce with her colonies. This situation continued until

14. Christian and Negro Slavery in Eighteenth-Century North Africa

Author

Norman R. Bennett

Subjects
Reign, History, North africa, Ancient history, Period (music), Theme (narrative)
Abstract

Slavery in eighteenth-century North Africa, as described in the literature of that era, is the main theme of this paper. However, as the eighteenth century gives an arbitrary division to our topic, the scope of this study has been enlarged. The account of Morocco begins with the reign of Mulay Isma'il (1672–1727) and extends through that of Mulay Sliman (1792–1822). As conditions were much the same throughout both of these rulers' reigns, any division would be meaningless. The account of slavery in Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli has been extended in the same manner. The period of the latter eighteenth century was one of decline for all three of these Muslim states. Conditions remained the same until the period of time around 1820. Then naval action by Lord Exmouth, and diplomatic pressure by the combined European powers practically put an end to the holding of Christian slaves.

15. Philippe Broyon Pioneer Trader in East Africa

Abstract

Philippe Broyon Pioneer Trader in East Africa by NORMAN ROBERT BENNETT OLLOWING the Brussels Conference of 1876 leading to the formation of the Association Internationale Africaine, reports of a young European resident in East Africa reached those interested in the new effort to penetrate this area of the African continent. He signed his letters with the name, " Philippe Broyon-Mirambo,"' and he called himself " a relation of the Sultan of Unyamwezi."2 The object of this study is to recount the activities of this adventurer who was the first independent European trader and plantation owner in the interior of East Africa. Philippe Broyon was born in Bex, Switzerland, in 1844. He chose the sea for a career, and made several voyages to Zanzibar as a sailor on French vessels from Marseilles between 1862 and 1866. Then he accepted employment from the French firm of Roux de Fraissinet in Zanzibar. After a time Broyon decided to enter into trade on his own account, and in 1872 he made his first inland expedition, accompanied by five Africans. His base of operations became the trading centre of Saadani on the coast opposite Zanzibar where he had early gone to study the routes inland and the local conditions of trade.3 Little is known of Broyon's early activities in what is now Tanganyika. A few travellers, however, did report seeing Broyon, or at least traces of his activities, as they passed through the area in which he worked. In 1875 Lt. Murphy of the Cameron expedition in search of Livingstone found Broyon settled near Mpwapwa, a village about 200 miles from the coast. He apparently was well-established there and living in peace with his African neighbours.' Direct evidence of Broyon's presence in the area comes in a letter of his in 1875 sent from there to the French Consul in Zanzibar; Broyon reported that he had purchased from an African a rifle lost by H. M. Stanley in a recent encounter with a native group." A later English traveller reported that Broyon had lived at this location near Mpwapwa for two years." Additional reports of Broyon's travels are mentioned by other European visitors. Mackay of the Church Missionary Society gave Broyon credit for being the first outsider to open a trade route through the Useguha region ; the Arabs in their journeys inland had not developed this route.' Pare Horner of the Roman Catholic mission at Bagamoyo said that the Swiss trader had opened a route to the Nguru region of Tanganyika where his order later established a mission.s While trading in the interior, Broyon entered into close relations with the Nyamwezi leader, Mirambo-the chief brought to the knowledge of the outside world as a result of his conflict with Stanley and the Arabs when the AngloAmerican explorer was in search of Livingstone.' Broyon apparently first reached Mirambo in 1875 when a lack of provisions motivated him to travel further inland."1 According to reports reaching Europe, probably from Broyon, he went to Mirambo's village, Urambo, with a group of Arab traders.
