What was the trade of African slaves by Europeans. Most slaves were shipped from West Africa to the New World.?

The transatlantic slave trade involved the forced transportation of millions of Africans to the Americas by European traders, primarily from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Most enslaved individuals were taken from West Africa and shipped to the New World, where they were forced to work on plantations and in mines.

The trade resulted in profound social and cultural disruptions in Africa, while contributing to the wealth and development of European colonial powers.
