The Origins of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and European Empires

One phenomenon that promoted world economic development during the 16th century to the 19th century was slave trade across the Atlantic Ocean. Slave trade across the Atlantic includes European countries that transport slaves from the coast of West Africa to the colonies of the Americas of Europe. A commonly asked question is why the people of Africa were chosen as slaves of the New World. Africans were chosen as slaves for their availability, productivity and relatively low cost. European planters believe that Africans are the most productive in terms of manual labor and are the most resistant to disease.

Slave trade across the Atlantic is an essential driving force in the mining world that is emerging under the British Empire. Mechanization of cotton fabrics produced in American farms originally operated by African slaves is promoted mainly by UK industrialization. However, this "hidden massacre" did not end with the end of colonization. Because colonization really does not die. Instead, fundamental reconstruction is taking place as demands for freedom and independence are growing all over the world. When the colonies were extinct, the extraction system just entered the overspeed state.

The Atlantic slave trade was on the verge of extinction around 1850, but slave trade in Sahara and East Africa peaked. In the 1950s the Ottoman Empire banned nominally slavery in most parts of the Islamic world, but this had only a minor impact on slave trade. One of the main reasons European major countries colonized the entire African continent during the 1880s and 1890s was the hope of abolition of slave trade and slavery in Africa. By the beginning of the 20th century the European forces defeated most African slave trading nations and the slave trade of Sahara and East Africa is over.
