Understanding Colonies: Structure, Trade, and Impact in the New World

A colony is a territory populated and governed by people from a distant land, typically for economic gain. For example, Spanish colonies were controlled by the Spanish crown, despite being located in the New World. The establishment of colonies often involved the exploitation of resources, including the Atlantic Slave Trade and the Triangular Trade, where goods and enslaved people were exchanged between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. This complex system significantly shaped the economy and society of both the colonies and the parent countries.
