Why would an answer be wrong if a student omits Africa from triangular trade?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because people captured in Africa were enslaved and transported to the Americas
Triangular trade linked Europe, Africa and the Americas. European traders exchanged goods in Africa for captured people, who were enslaved and transported to plantations in the Americas. Omitting Africa therefore removes a central and brutal part of this system. Option C partly describes the flow of plantation goods to Europe, but those goods mainly came from the Americas, not Africa. Exam tip: state all three regions and the role each played.
