In the 1800s, European nations pursued a policy known as imperialism to control other countries, aiming to expand trade networks and establish global military bases. This involved colonization and the exploitation of resources in various regions, particularly in Africa and Asia. Imperialism was driven by economic motives, national prestige, and a belief in cultural superiority.
The slave trade significantly contributed to European control of Africa in the 1800s by establishing economic ties that facilitated further exploitation and colonization. European powers utilized the wealth generated from slave trading to finance expeditions and military campaigns in Africa, enabling them to assert dominance over local societies. Additionally, the disruption of African communities and economies due to the slave trade weakened resistance to colonial rule, allowing Europeans to expand their territories more easily. Ultimately, the legacy of the slave trade laid the groundwork for the broader imperial ambitions of European nations on the continent.

Europeans first established a presence in Nigeria to take part in the slave trade.
This is how it happened the first part of the triangular slave trade was the voyage from Europe to Africa. In Africa European slave traders bought enslaved Africans in exchange for goods shipped from Europe. The second part of the triangular slave trade was the voyage from Africa to the Americas. This is often called the Middle Passage. This was the part of the triangle where enslaved Africans were forcibly shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. On reaching the Americas those Africans who had survived the terrible journey were sold as slaves to work on plantations. The third and final part of the triangular slave trade was the return voyage from the Americas to Europe. Slave ships returned to Europe loaded with goods produced on plantations using slave labour. It could take slave ships up to one year to complete the entire triangular voyage

There were many slave trades, even some going on in these days, but I presume you mean the transatlantic slave trade from Africa. The ships went mainly to the Caribbean islands, which were colonies of European nations, thus not countries in their own right. The ships also went to Brazil and the northern part of South America, which was also colonised by European nations, chiefly Spain and Portugal, so the countreies as now on the map didn't exist then. Some ships went directly to the North American colonies, which became the USA after independance.

they got they start from European because Europeans began to enslave African who could be obtained from trading post along the African post Slavery in Africa predated European contact by thousands of years and was part and parcel of trade, commerce and wealth in African nations. The first European contact leading to the purchase of slaves was from with the Portuguese. Europeans did not go to Africa to "enslave" Africans but rather they went to Africa to purchase slaves already enslaved by African rulers. Excess population was seen as a source of wealth and a commodity of trade by African rulers. The concept of Europeans stalking Africans to make the slaves is factually inaccurate, a distortion of the reality of the African slave trade and has led to a distorted view of the African slave trade reinforcing racial bias for political purposes.
They are the people who come form the Caribbean islands neat the Gulf of Mexico. However their ancestry is probably part European and part African as the islands were settled during the slave trade.
