Question

Why was triangular slave trade started ? Name the ports and the countries involved in this trade .

Answer 1

Answer:

The Triangular trade.

Explanation:

1. British sailors became involved in the trade in the 16th century and their involvement increased in the 18th century when the Treaty of Utrecht (1713) gave them the right to sell slaves in the Spanish Empire. The slave trade made a great deal of profit for those who sold and exchanged slaves.
2. The first leg of the triangle was from a European port to Africa, in which ships carried supplies for sale and trade, such as copper, cloth, trinkets, slave beads, guns and ammunition. When the ship arrived, its cargo would be sold or bartered for slaves. ... The ship then returned to Europe to complete the triangle.
