Which of the following transactions was not part of the triangular trade between europe, africa, and the americas?
a. finished goods from europe were used to purchase slaves in africa.
b. slaves from africa were used to produce raw materials in the americas.
c. raw materials from the americas were shipped to europe.
d. slaves from the americas were sold in africa in exchange for finished goods.

The correct answer is - d. Slaves from the Americas were sold in Africa in exchange for finished goods.

This statement is not true about the triangular trade between Europe, the Americas, and Africa. Slaves were taken, or rather most often bought by other African tribes, and they were taken to the New World to work on the plantations, where they were forced to work, accept another religion, and had no rights whatsoever in most of the cases. They were owned by large land owners that were rich and could afford to have slaves at their disposal.

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.

is there answer chooses?
