Trade Routes and the Triangular Trade

Trade routes and the Triangular Trade were crucial for the economy of the colonial period. The Triangular Trade was a three-part journey where goods and enslaved people were exchanged between Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

Ships traveled from Europe to Africa, then to the Americas, and back to Europe, bringing different products such as sugar, tobacco, and rum. This trading system connected different continents and changed the lives of many people.
