Persia had three capitals during the Achaemenid Period: Persepolis, Susa, Ecbatana.

Perisa's capital during the Seleucid and Parthian dynasties was Seleucia.

Persia's capital during the Sassanid dynasty was Ctesiphon.

After Islam the three cities which at some point was a capital of Persia were Shiraz (under the Buyids), Isfahan (under the Safavids), and Tehran (under the Qajars). There probably were other capitals of Persia besides the ones I have stated but these are the primary ones.

The racial history of a person's family

Europeans came into contact with African slave traders while exploring the coast of Africa.

Slaves from West Africa were generally sold in African and European countries, while slaves from East Africa were generally sold in Persia and Mesopotamia.

In the 1400's there was no Atlantic slave trade. It didn't begin until the American colonies used the slaves as part of the triangular trade. The first slave arrived in 1619, but it wasn't until the invention of the cotton gin that the slave population grew to millions of slaves in the southern states. There is a direct relationship between the bales of cotton produced and the number of slaves.

Trade routes to Europe and Asia were opened and maintained.
