The Colombian Exchange transformed the world in a more radical(a really big change) way than any other development in world history. One significant effect of this process(the action of going forward)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(to join as a companion, or partner) with economic developments, but it is impossible to analyze(to examine carefully and in detail) 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(to value or regard highly) how economic and social factors(contributes to an accomplishment, result, or process) impact each other in history.
The paragraph above is telling you how the Colombian Exchange(of which was when chocolate, potatoes, and other goods were traded. Also millions of people died of diseases) had changed the world in a really big way, and had established the Triangle Trade. The Triangle Trade was between Europe, Africa, and our own country America. They have been trading weapons and alcoholic beverages. They also traded finished goods between Europe and Africa, and slaves were sent to America for raw goods. The time period of this has been considered intense social impact, for the slaves that are traded during the Triangle Trade. It impacted the slaves during transporting them. The slaves hardly ever got food, and were sometimes thrown overboard alive. The understanding of this time period can only be valued by the economic and social contributes of accomplishment impact those countries in history.
