What is the Atlantic Triangle?

The Atlantic Triangle is a term that refers to the triangular trade that took place between Europe, Africa, and the Americas during the 16th to 19th centuries. This system was driven by European colonial powers who needed cheap labor to produce raw materials such as tobacco, sugar, and cotton. African slaves were forcibly brought to the Americas to work on the plantations, and the goods produced were then transported to Europe to be sold for profit. The Atlantic Triangle was a brutal system that had devastating effects on African societies and the enslaved people who were forced to work in inhumane conditions. It also played a significant role in the development of the modern world economy.
