The Eastern (Europe, Africa, and Asia) and Western (Americas) hemispheres.
The Columbian Exchange is named such because it all started when Columbus mistakenly landed in the Caribbean in 1492 (also the year the Columbian exchange is noted for starting). It is also referred to as triangular trade (sugar/agriculture from Americas to Europe, manufactured goods from Europe to Africa, and slaves from Africa to the Americas).
The Columbian Exchange drastically transformed the economies and societies of Africa, Europe, and the Americas. In the Americas, the introduction of European crops and livestock boosted agricultural production but also led to the exploitation and decline of Indigenous populations. Europe benefited from new agricultural products, such as potatoes and maize, which improved nutrition and population growth. In Africa, the exchange facilitated the transatlantic slave trade, significantly impacting its societies and economies as millions were forcibly taken to work in the Americas.
The Columbian Exchange involved the trade of slaves, corn, and horses. The only two countries involved were Europe and Africa. The Americas were still considered colonies.
Raw materials like precious metals (gold and silver), tobacco, sugar and cotton went from the Americas to Europe. Manufactured goods like cloth and metal items went to Africa and the Americas. Finally, slaves went from Africa to the Americas to work. This trade created great profits for Europe.

the columbian exchange
The Colombian Exchange involved the transfer of goods, animals, crops, and diseases between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. This exchange had significant economic, cultural, and ecological impacts on all regions involved, leading to the spread of crops and livestock, population growth, and the integration of diverse cultures. The slave trade in particular had devastating effects on African societies, as millions of Africans were forcibly taken from their homes and transported to the Americas to work on plantations, resulting in immense human suffering and long-lasting social and economic consequences.
