Slavery and capitalism

" In point of tiem, the first area outside of Europe to attract the benign eye of acquisitive merchants, the righteous sigh of pious missionaries and the consecrated sword of gracious sovereigns was that land-mass, nearest to it, and around which one needs to go to reach the fabled riches of Asia----that is, Africa."

it is an excerption from Slavery and Capitalism,

can any teachers please teach me what the bold "it" in the paragrah refers to?

Thank you very much anyway.

I think it refers to Area, too, I just was not sure about it.

It is a very complex text, but it's just how it was written.
