Why Did Slave Trading Intensify in Nineteenth-Century East Africa?

East Africa of the 19th century was characterized by a sad event of slave trade corresponding to more demanding markets. For a long time, the export of slaves was supplied to the Muslim world through the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Because the export of slaves was a profitable business more than five times the export of ivory and other goods (1).

Important items for transportation by Arabian Dow to Somalia are slaves from other parts of East Africa. In the nineteenth century, East African slave trade increased dramatically with Arab, Portuguese, and French demands. Slave merchants and attackers moved all over East Africa and Central Africa to respond to the growing demand for slave men, women and children. Somalia does not offer slavery - as part of the Islamic world, Somalians are at least nominally protected by religious beliefs.

HIST 1050. Slave trade across Africa and the Atlantic Ocean. In this lecture we will explain the relationship of slave trade across Africa and the Atlantic from the late 15th to the 19th century. We will focus on the main part of the Atlantic Africa, which is influenced by the greatest forced relocation in human history, focusing on resistance to slave trade and the role of slavery in the African continent. This course reflects not only the relationship between the abolition of trade in the 19th century and the rise of colonialism, but also the relationship between slave trade in Africa and long-term underdeveloped models.
