The Atlantic system was the set of complex interactions that connected African labor, American land, and mineral resources, and European technology and military power.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the Atlantic system?</h3>

Generally, The transatlantic slave trade was a component of the larger global slave trade that included the transportation of between 10 million and 12 million enslaved Africans over the Atlantic to the Americas during the years of the 16th and 19th centuries.

A network of people, raw resources, completed commodities, traders, and mariners that brought prosperity to colonial empires was tied together by the Atlantic Ocean throughout the time of colonialism.

This ocean functioned as a highway between European, Africa, and the Americas.

In conclusion, The assets that a nation-state is able to muster against all other countries for the purposes of military intimidation, defense, and conflict all contribute to the nation-overall state's military force potential.
