How did the Columbian exchange affect Europe Africa and the Americas?
The Columbian Exchange dramatically changed the course of history, culture, politics, and everything else in Europe, Africa, and the Americas. What Africa got out of it was slavery. While a few men may have profited from selling off kidnapped people from rival tribes to the Europeans, millions of people would be directly exported from Africa, sometimes to Europe, but the vast majority to the Americas, mostly to work on the plantations and farms of the southern British colonies and Latin America. The Americas got colonized by the European powers, sometimes with their resources being taken advantage of and their native people displaced and even slaughtered, but they truly became the New World that would forever dramatically change the face of the world. Europe, of course, received infinite opportunities in the Americas, in terms of land, resources, new people and products to interact with, and a whole new frontier for the politics and history of the world to take place on. And, of course, absolutely incredible opportunities to expand their empires.
