Three Worlds Meet

Question 10 • LHS World History

Which statement best describes the effect of Triangular Trade on Africa?

Answer

Communities were devastated, the population declined, families were torn apart, and slave trading wars claimed even more African lives.

Societal fabric was destroyed, between 10-15 million Africans were sent to the New World, and the rise of African state banks occurred.

Young, healthy Africans were sent to the New World, a smallpox epidemic further decreased the population, and Africa began growing coffee.

Ten to twenty percent of Africans on the Middle Passage died due to inhumane conditions, West Africa became a trading post for corn and wheat, and wars for colonial control began.

Explanation

The transatlantic slave trade forcibly removed millions of Africans, disrupting communities and separating families. Raids and conflicts connected to slave trading caused further deaths and destabilized societies, so choice A best describes its effects. Choice B includes the true point that millions were transported but incorrectly claims African state banks rose as a result.
