The Colombian Exchange transformed the world in a more radical (thoroughgoing or extreme, esp. as regards change from accepted or traditional forms) way than any other development in world history. One significant effect of this process(a systematic series of actions directed to some end) was the establishment of the Triangle Trade. While many factors were a part of the Triangle Trade, the rapid growth in both supply and demand for new commodities was the largest motivating element. This time period may be best associated(having connection to; having part in)with economic developments, but it is impossible to analyze(to examine carefully and in detail so as to identify causes, key factors, possible results) this period without considering the intense social impact that the Triangle Trade had on those involved. In truth, a full understanding can only be gained by appreciating(to value or regard highly) how economic and social factors( One that actively contributes to an accomplishment, result, or process)impact each other in history.

The colombian exchange made a drastic mark on the world. It allowed for a system of trade to be developed that boosted the supply and demand of products for businesses. This is why the period is often related to the economic status because it brought in money but it also did another thing; it opened up social contact for people, to other people with supply and businesses. Ultimately economics and communication are inseparable because you can't do one without the other, and you can't change one without effecting the other.
