Detailed explanation-1: -three stages of the so-called triangular trade, in which arms, textiles, and wine were shipped from Europe to Africa, enslaved people from Africa to the Americas, and sugar and coffee from the Americas to Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -A triangular trade is hypothesized to have taken place among ancient East Greece (and possibly Attica), Kommos, and Egypt. A trade pattern which evolved before the American Revolutionary War among Great Britain, the Colonies of British North America, and British colonies in the Caribbean.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first stage of the Triangular Trade involved taking manufactured goods from Europe to Africa: cloth, spirit, tobacco, beads, cowrie shells, metal goods, and guns.
