The Triangle trade means a trade between three countries. In Europe, one of the famous triangle trades, was between Africa, North America and Europe. Africa would be forced to send slaves to North America. These slaves would then work in the North American lands producing crops ,like rice, silk, sugar and tobacco, which are then exported to Europe. Europe would then manifacture and send the goods, like clothes, guns, iron, beer and machines, to Africa and North America. This was infair since Europe ended up taking all the money, since they are the ones producing the actual products not raw materials.
