The nations that did not participate were either the ones that had no overseas colonies or that had no trade fleet outside their own waters. Just to name a few: all landlocked countries like Austria, Bavaria and most other German nations; Prussia, Italy, Greece, Russia (although they held millions of serfs as near-slaves in their own country) and the Scandinavian countries.

A shorter list is that of the main nations that were involved because of their American colonies or their big trade fleets: England first of all, Spain, Portugal and the Dutch Republic. Also worth mentioning: the Ottoman Empire, which during its existence probably traded and held as many slaves - Africans and Europeans - as the other nations combined.
