Slaves were brought to Mauritius primarily to support the island's sugar plantation economy, which emerged in the 18th century. The demand for labor increased as sugar production grew, leading the French and later British colonial powers to import enslaved people from Africa and Madagascar. This system aimed to maximize agricultural output and profitability, laying the foundation for Mauritius's economic development. The legacy of slavery has had lasting social and cultural impacts on the island's population.
