ANSWER:

The Columbian Exchange

• Columbian Exchange—movement of living things between hemispheres

• Exchange began after Columbus' voyages to Americas

- Chinese goods (silk, porcelain), Indian spices returned to Europe

• Triangular trade—Europe, Americas, Africa exchanged goods, slaves

- enslaved Africans worked in West Indies; sugar cane sent to Europe

The Spread of Culture
