Europeans found sources for their mines and plantations primarily in the Americas, Africa, and the Caribbean. The colonization of these regions allowed them to exploit rich Natural Resources, such as gold, silver, and various agricultural products. Indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans were often forced to work in these mines and plantations, significantly contributing to Europe's wealth during the colonial period. This exploitation played a crucial role in the development of the global economy and the transatlantic trade networks.
