11. Columbian Exchange and TRIANGLE trade
Ms. Allen
WHII

13. What is the Columbian Exchange?
The exchange of ideas, products, plants, animals, and diseases between the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia

14. Impact of the Columbian Exchange on:
Native
Americans
2. Africans
3. Europeans
Slave trade = problems!
Slaves sent away in trade = no labor in Africa
Plantation system hurts native economies
Spread of European disease
European migration
Conflict between European nations
Growth of trade markets

15. POSITIVE EFFECTS: NEGATIVE EFFECTS:
Greater variation in diet
Indigenous American plants arrive in Europe
EX: Tomatoes (from the Americas) arrive in Europe
Influence Spanish, Italian, etc. cuisine especially
Better nutrition
Introduction of large-scale farming
(More people can eat more kinds of food, food is cheaper)
Spread of disease
Population decline (for indigenous peoples)
More violence and warfare
Greater competition between nations
Introduction of large-scale farming
Hurts individual farmers, environment

16. What is the Triangle Trade?
Pattern of colonial trade beginning during the Age of Exploration and Discovery
Saw the exchange of products and goods between different locations
Grew out of both:
1. Slave trade
2. Rise of mercantilism
Involved three (3) continents (hence “Triangle” Trade)
Americas
Africa
Europe

18. What is the major difference between the Columbian Exchange and Triangle Trade?
Columbian Exchange = trading “intangibles” (things you can’t hold or touch)
Triangle Trade = trading only “tangibles” (things you can touch/hold, like goods, products, etc.)
