Triangular trade was historically a trans-Atlantic trade route that had three parts or "sides" to the "triangle": Africa to the Americas to transport slaves, the Americas to Europe to transport raw materials, and Europe to Africa to transport finished goods for slaves.
It was developed by the Portuguese in the 16th century, but later used by Britain, France, Holland, Colonial America and the other maritime nations of Europe.
