In the 1600s, large amounts of raw materials from Spanish and English colonies in the Americas were taken to Europe, particularly Spain and England. These materials included precious metals like gold and silver, as well as agricultural products such as tobacco, sugar, and cotton. The influx of these resources contributed to the economic growth of European nations and fueled the expansion of trade networks. This exploitation also had profound social and economic impacts on indigenous populations and enslaved Africans in the colonies.
