This unit I had learned a lot of things. I learned the Columbian Exchange, as well as positive and negative of explorations. During the age of exploration, there was triangle trade that people in Europe, africa and americas trade goods. They trade animals, plants and foods.

Moreover, new resources were found droning this time as well. However, there are some negative effects as well. For example, disease spreads and slavery not end.
