Triangular trade refers to the transatlantic system of trade that developed between Europe, Africa, and the Americas from the 16th to the 19th centuries. It involved three key legs: European goods were sent to Africa, where they were exchanged for enslaved Africans; the enslaved individuals were then transported to the Americas, where they were sold to work on plantations; finally, raw materials and goods produced in the Americas, such as sugar and tobacco, were shipped back to Europe. This system facilitated the growth of economies in Europe and the Americas while perpetuating the brutal slave trade in Africa.
