West Africa was a part of a major trading network long before the Europeans.
From ancient times there were trade routes across the Sahara linking the north and west of the African continent. Large cities developed along the Saharan trade routes. The trade lead to the growth of great empires in the region.
Luxury goods such as gold and ivory had been imported from Africa by Arab traders. But in the 1430s, as European shipbuilding and skills improved, Portuguese sailors began to explore West Africa coast for them selves. By 1460s the Portuguese had reached the Guinea coast and in the 1481 they set up trading post called El Mina.
The Portuguese were soon followed by other European countries. They gradually established more regular trading relationships. Though they developed quick, the explorations in America led to great demands of Slaves to work in the new colonies. They did not want to do such works themselves, so they started to capture or rather kidnap the African people across the Atlantic Ocean.
