'''Triagular trade''' was a trans-Atlantic trade route, developed by the Portuguese in the 16th century, but later used by the other maritime nations of [[Europe]], that had three parts or "sides" to the "triangle": [[Africa]] to the Americas to transport [[slave]]s, the [[Americas]] to Europe to transport raw materials, and Europe to Africa to transport finished goods for sale.

It doesn't make sense because at the time Africa was not a significant market for finished goods. No instance of a triangular trade route has ever been found.
Nevertheless, history books teach that there were many variations on the routes and goods transported.
