Question

What did the European Union do to combat Apartheid in South Africa?

placed sanctions on South Africa

welcomed black South Africans into their countries

blockaded South African ports

arrested South African leaders

Answer 1

Placed sanctions on South Africa.

The European Community (and later the EU), together with many of its member states, imposed economic and diplomatic sanctions, arms embargoes and supported boycotts and divestment campaigns. They did not mount naval blockades or arrest South African leaders, and while some countries accepted refugees, that was not the main coordinated measure.
