Answer: c) The Triangle Trade had little influence on the Ottomans.
Explanation:
The Triangular trade being referred to here was part of ''the Transatlantic Slave Trade'' where millions were shipped from West Africa to colonies in North and South America in exchange for goods from those same continents.
The Ottoman empire had little connection to this trade as they were to the far east of Europe and the trade mostly occurred in the west. The triangular trade therefore had little influence on the Ottomans as opposed to western countries like Britain, France and Spain which underwent economic and demographic changes amongst others.
They wanted to gain power over their neighbors and also to oust American and European influences from the region. Early in 1941, the western powers were beginning to pay attention to the situation. America sent troops to the Philippines.
