Answer:

Mercantilism

Step-by-step explanation:

Mercantilism led to the emergence of what was called the "triangular trade", which was a system of trade between Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Europe supplied Africa and the Americas with finished goods, the Americas supplied Europe and Africa with raw materials, and Africa supplied Europe and the Americas with enslaved workers.
