Quiz.HaitiLibre offers a twice-weekly general knowledge segment called "Did You Know ?". Today we ask you if you know what the triangular trade was ?

Did you know that triangular trade was the global economic system within which the colony of Santo Domingo fit perfectly .

This massive maritime traffic took place in three main stages. First, ships left from Western Europe, notably from French ports, loaded with manufactured goods, weapons, fabrics and alcohol.

Then, these goods were exchanged on the coasts of West Africa for captured men, women and children. The ships then crossed the Atlantic Ocean during the terrible ordeal of the "Middle Passage".

Arriving in the West Indies, surviving slaves were sold to planters.Finally, the ships returned to Europe with their holds full of high value-added tropical products such as sugar, coffee and indigo. This closed commercial circuit considerably enriched the European powers at the expense of millions of African human lives.
