Event
The Triangle Trade
When European nations started to colonize North and South America, they created large plantations for the production of Cotton, Tobacco & Sugar. First they tried to use the local population as slaves, but they quickly died out where that was tried. Slaves were then imported from Africa, which created a triangular trade system. Europe sold textiles, rum & manufactured goods to Africa, Africa sold slaves to America, and America sold cotton, sugar and tobacco to Europe.
