Free labor. Think about it in today's terms. You own a restaurant. You have a hard worker. You don't have to pay him anything. You own him.

What was the main reason European countries desired African slaves?

I don't think they "desired" African slaves.

So i don't think the African slaves were really targeted, it was just from where the explorers sailed to.
