Britain, Spain, and Portugal established colonies in North America, the Caribbean, and South America in the 16th-18th centuries. They exploited resources and labor from West Africa and the Americas, establishing plantations that produced cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. The colonizing powers economically benefited from this system of colonization and the transatlantic slave trade that supported their colonies.
