Exam 2

The Columbian Exchange transformed the world in a more radical (extreme) way than any other development in world history. One significant effect of this process (action or operation) was the establishment of the Triangle Trade. While many factors were a part of the Triangle Trade, the rapid growth in both supply and demand for new commodities was the largest motivating element. This time period may be best associated (connect with or in relation to) with economic developments, but it is impossible to analyze (examine or break down and study) this period without considering the intense social impact that the Triangle Trade had on those involved. In truth, a full understanding can only be gained by appreciating (praising or extol) how economic and social factors (something that affects the outcome) impact each other in history.

The thing that changed the world the most in history was the Columbian Exchange. The Columbian Exchange was the exchange of animals, food, and other materials into Europe. The Columbian Exchange also instituted the Triangle Trade, which traded slaves for goods, and goods for more commodities. The motivation behind the Triangle Trade was mostly because of the demand for goods. The economics of this time were based on the social impacts. All of these factors effect history and the way we see the Columbian Exchange.
