Africa.
The Americas made or got cotton. The europeans did not allow americas to make clothes or cloths with it so americas sold the cotton to eropeans and when europeans were done making cloth, they sold it back to americas.

European explorers primarily explored westward and southward, venturing to the Americas, Africa, and Asia. They sought out new trade routes, resources, and territories, leading to the age of exploration from the 15th to 17th centuries.
In the 19th century, Europeans were present in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
It was the middle leg of the triangular trade route that Europeans followed.
Dutch explorers primarily explored and colonized regions in Asia (such as Indonesia) and, to a lesser extent, Africa (such as South Africa) and the Americas (such as the Caribbean).
From Europe, they brought textiles, run and manufactured good to Africa. From Africa, they bought slaves or simply took people and made them slaves, and brought them to the Americas. From the Americas, the Europeans brought back the sugar, tobacco and cotton.
there were several reasons that hindered the expantion of Europeans
In the triangular trade route, there were 3 main points of trading- Africa, Europe, and America. Manufactured goods went from Europe to Africa, slaves went from Africa to the Americas, and luxury goods from the Americas to Europe.
Nothing "made Europeans colonize"; it was an active decision that they chose to do. They did this for material resources, labor resources, prestige, strategic positions, and religious evangelism.
