The trade route of rum, slaves, sugar, and molasses was called the triangular trade as it formed a triangle between America, Africa, and the West Indies. The middle passage consisted of large number of enslaved Africans, who were brought to the Americas as part of the triangular trade.
This system of trade was extremely profitable for the Europeans and was used to transport millions of slaves from Africa to the Americas through the middle passage. The slaves were used to work on plantations and in mines, and many of them died from the harsh conditions.
The triangular trade was eventually abolished in the 19th century, but the legacy of this system of trade continues to impact the world today.

The above answer is correct
The Cold War existed as a response of the Western capitalist countries of Europe and the US and Canada to the threat they considered the Soviet Union posed to their economic and political interests both in Europe and also throughout the world. They felt this threat from the Eastern European countries that were invaded by the Soviet Union in their drive to defeat Hitler. After the war many of these countries like Romania, Czechoslovakia etc had socialist governments like the Soviet Union and were considered part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Eastern and Western Germany divided by the Berlin Wall were symbolic of this division. After the WWII and also the death of Stalin, there was major contention between what came to be known as the two world superpowers, the US and the Soviet Union and there was a near nuclear war over for example the US stopping the installation of missiles in Cuba in the early '60's.
