TRIANGULAR TRADE ^ M^^^^^'^ ' '^^^
l uring the 1600s and 1700s, people who lived on the continents of Europe, Africa, and North
r\merica all had products that the others needed. For example, Europeans produced furniture and
toots, while colonists in North America had fish and lumber. Many ships crossed the Atlantic Ocean
carrying these and other goods to trade between the continents. The three continents formed the
points of large triangles, giving the trade routes their name.
