What was the first contact between Europeans and Africans?

The first contact between Europeans and Africans is often marked by the arrival of Portuguese explorers along the West African coast in the 15th century. In 1441, Portuguese sailors captured several Africans in present-day Mauritania, initiating trade relations that included the exchange of goods and the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade. This contact laid the groundwork for subsequent European exploration, colonization, and exploitation of African resources and people. The interactions were complex, involving trade, cultural exchange, and conflict.


When did the Europeans start enslaving africans?

The European involvement in the enslavement of Africans began in the late 15th century, following the onset of the transatlantic slave trade around the 1500s. Initially, the Portuguese were the first to engage in African slave trading, capturing and transporting enslaved people to work on plantations in the Americas. By the 17th century, other European powers, including the British, French, and Dutch, expanded the trade significantly, leading to the forced displacement of millions of Africans over the next few centuries. This brutal system persisted until the 19th century, when abolition movements gained momentum.
