Portugal did, as it opened the first slave market in Europe in 1441. After conquering the Americas, many indigenous people died of smallpox and other European-brought diseases. Due to a lack of slave labor, Portugal and Spain started to 'import' slaves from Africa.
The majority of slaves brought to the Americas from 1500 to 1870 came to Brazil
What caused African slaves to be brought to the Americas was the demand for cheap labor. They replaced indentured servants.
In certain regions of the Americas, Hispanics were not enslaved as a group. Slavery predominantly involved Africans who were brought to the Americas as slaves.
In Britain, the chartered Royal African Company was granted a monopoly over the shipment of slaves to colonies in the Americas.
The first group of African slaves in the Americas and Caribbean region were brought by the Portuguese in the early 16th century. Portugal's initial involvement in the transatlantic slave trade set the foundation for the widespread forced labor system that followed.
