Conflicts between Europeans and Africans were primarily driven by colonialism, as European powers sought to assert control over African territories for resources and trade. European expansion disrupted existing power structures, cultures, and economies in Africa, leading to tensions, resistance, and ultimately conflicts. The imposition of colonial rule, exploitation of resources, and discrimination against indigenous populations also fueled conflict between the two groups.

Africans played various roles in the continuation of the transatlantic slave trade, including capturing and enslaving individuals from rival groups during intertribal warfare, serving as middlemen in the trade by capturing people and selling them to European slave traders, and participating in the transportation of enslaved individuals to the coast for sale. However, it's important to note that African participation in the slave trade was complex and often forced or influenced by European colonial powers and traders.
Factions are opposing groups that challenge rule, order and power.
The class system in Spanish America was primarily made up of peninsulares (those born in Spain), criollos (those born in the Americas of Spanish descent), mestizos (mixed European and indigenous ancestry), mulattos (mixed European and African ancestry), indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans. These groups were hierarchically structured with peninsulares at the top and indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans at the bottom.
Some Africans participated in the slave trade due to economic incentives, like receiving goods in exchange for slaves. They may have also been motivated by competition between different African groups and kingdoms. European incentives such as firearms and other technology also played a role in encouraging some Africans to collaborate in the capture and sale of other Africans.
