History of Cocoa

This mind map, created using EdrawMind, outlines the history of cocoa, from its ancient origins to modern fair trade issues. It is divided into several key periods: Ancient Origins, including the use of cocoa by the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecs; the Age of Exploration involving Columbus's discovery of the New World and Spanish explorers bringing cocoa back to Europe; the Colonial System and Imperialism period, which saw the establishment of cocoa plantations in Central and South America and the promotion of colonial economies through the triangular trade; the Industrial Revolution and Global Market section discusses how new technologies increased production efficiency and the demand for chocolate by the US during World War II; finally, the Fair Trade section explores the impact of European colonization on economic crop dependence and current challenges such as market price imbalances, environmental issues, and child labor.
