The Atlantic slave trade began in the 1500s primarily due to the demand for labor in the Americas, particularly in sugar, tobacco, and later cotton plantations. European colonizers sought a solution to labor shortages after the indigenous populations declined due to disease and harsh treatment. African slaves were forcibly taken from their homelands and transported across the Atlantic, driven by the profitability of slave labor in the burgeoning colonial economies. This trade became a cornerstone of the transatlantic economy, linking Europe, Africa, and the Americas.
