How did triangular trade affect Europeans?

Triangular trade significantly impacted Europeans by boosting their economies through increased trade and the accumulation of wealth from colonies. European nations, particularly Britain, France, and Portugal, benefitted from the exchange of goods such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, which were produced by enslaved labor in the Americas. This trade also led to the growth of port cities and maritime industries in Europe. However, it entrenched social inequalities and moral dilemmas related to slavery and exploitation.
