Detailed Solution

Europe, Africa and America were involved in the triangular slave trade.
A "Triangular Trade" is the trade pattern involving the flow of labour from Africa to the Americas to produce commodities for European markets. It combines the three geographical regions of Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The mainstay of this system was the production of sugar.

Sugar production in the New World was expanded by Spain and Portugal, who had previously concentrated their operations in the Mediterranean, the Canaries, Madeira, and the island of Sao Tomé.
