The triangular trade system developed during the 16th to 19th centuries as European nations sought to expand their economies and exploit resources in the Americas, Africa, and Europe. It involved the exchange of goods and enslaved people among these regions: ships would carry manufactured goods from Europe to Africa, enslaved people from Africa to the Americas, and raw materials like sugar and tobacco back to Europe. This system significantly contributed to the growth of the transatlantic slave trade and the economic foundations of colonial powers.
