West African kingdoms played a complex role in the transatlantic slave trade, often acting as intermediaries between European traders and the interior regions of Africa. Many kingdoms, such as the Ashanti and Dahomey, captured and sold prisoners of war or individuals from rival tribes to European merchants in exchange for goods like firearms, textiles, and alcohol. This trade significantly impacted social structures and economies within West Africa, as it encouraged warfare and the expansion of certain kingdoms while devastating others. Ultimately, the involvement of these kingdoms contributed to the perpetuation of the slave trade and its long-lasting effects on the region.
