The reason for this maritime movement was to obtain labour as the indigenous population of the New World had declined rapidly because of its lack of immunity against imported pathogens.

Why was the triangular trade developed?

The triangular slave trade was a kind of trading network. It consisted of 3 journeys. The first route carried European goods to Africa to be exchanged for slaves. The second route, or middle passage, brought the Africans to the Americas to be sold as slaves. The third route carried American products such as, sugar, tobacco, and rice to Europe. There were two reasons for the invention of the triangular slave trade. The first reason was to benefit the industrial revolution of Europe.
