Who were the winners of the triangle trade?

The winners of the triangle trade were primarily European nations, particularly those involved in maritime trade like Britain, France, and Portugal. They profited immensely from the exchange of goods, including enslaved Africans, sugar, and rum, which fueled their economies. Additionally, plantation owners in the Americas benefited from cheap labor, while the economic and social structures of many African societies were disrupted. However, the trade had devastating impacts on enslaved individuals and African communities.
