Transatlantic Trade refers to the exchange of goods, services, and resources between Europe and the Americas across the Atlantic Ocean. This trade route became significant during the Age of Exploration in the 15th century and continued to grow, involving commodities like sugar, tobacco, and cotton, as well as manufactured goods from Europe. The trade also included the infamous Transatlantic Slave Trade, where millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas to work on plantations. This trade had profound economic, social, and cultural impacts on both continents, shaping the development of modern economies and societies.
