The Colombian Exchange transformed the world in a more radical way than any other development in world history. One significant effect of this process(what happend from start to finish). was the establishment of the Triangle Trade. While many factors were a part of the Triangle Trade, the rapid growth in both supply and demand for new commodities was the largest motivating element. This time period may be best associated(connect or relate to) with economic developments, but it is impossible to analyze(to exam closely) this period without considering the intense social impact that the Triangle Trade had on those involved. In truth, a full understanding can only be gained by appreciating how economic and social factors impact each other in history.
