One way in which commercial extraction of raw materials in Egypt was different from the commercial extraction of raw materials in the Amazon in the period 1750-1900, was the following.

The commercial extraction of raw materials in Egypt was basically the product of the British colonization efforts in that part of North Africa. Great Britain had several colonies in Africa, one of them being Egypt. More than colonizing the territory to help people to develop and grow, the reality was that the English monarchy just wanted to exploit those raw materials and natural resources. And exploit they did.

In the case of the Amazon forest, European nations such as Portugal did something similar but they instilled the concept of latifundium, wealthy people that owned the land and forced slaves to work, produce, and harvest the crops that were exported to be industrialized.
