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.

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 Eastern (Europe, Africa, and Asia) and Western (Americas) hemispheres.
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.
One result of this exchange was the transfer of germs and viruses that brought diseases from europe to asia
