Which of these are factors that caused Europeans in the West Indies to use enslaved Africans? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Plantations growing crops such as sugar required large numbers of workers, so Europeans sought a workforce they could enslave. Many Indigenous people in the West Indies died in large numbers from disease, violence, and harsh labor, leading Europeans to rely increasingly on enslaved Africans. The other choices do not describe the main causes: major Indigenous rebellions and inability to afford local wages were not the reasons given, and enslaved workers were brought from Africa, not Europe.
