Question

How did the trans-Atlantic slave trade lead to the

de-industrialization of Africa between the 16th and
19th centuries?

Answer 1

The triangular slave trade, also referred to as the transatlantic slave trade, occurred from the 16th to the early 19th century. During this time, European colonial powers acquired African individuals through purchase or capture and transported them to the Caribbean and American territories to cultivate cash crops for the benefit of the colonial powers.
