Crusades
The earliest interaction between Europeans and Africans would have been in trade. Specifically empires like Egypt traded with the Roman Empire.

Africans and Europeans engaged in a diverse range of trade goods. Africans traded valuable resources such as gold, ivory, spices, and enslaved people, while Europeans exchanged textiles, metal goods, firearms, and alcohol.
