Africans and Europeans engaged in a diverse range of trade goods. Africans traded valuable resources such as gold, ivory, spices, and enslaved people, while Europeans exchanged textiles, metal goods, firearms, and alcohol. This trade significantly impacted both continents, fostering economic ties and cultural exchanges, but also contributing to the exploitation and suffering of African populations. The transatlantic trade network reshaped societies and economies on both sides.
