Before Portugal established trading posts along the West African coast, Europeans primarily acquired enslaved individuals through indirect means, such as purchasing them from local African kingdoms and traders. These groups often captured individuals during conflicts, raids, or through established slave systems within their societies. Additionally, Mediterranean and Atlantic trade routes facilitated the movement of enslaved people, allowing European merchants to engage in the transatlantic slave trade even before direct involvement in West Africa.

Europeans established South African coastal cities as trading ports. This was especially common during the slave trade but was used for other commodities as well.
The European countries that established the most trading posts in India were primarily Portugal, the Netherlands, France, and Britain. Portugal was the first to set up trading posts in the early 16th century, followed by the Dutch in the 17th century, who focused on spices. The French established their presence in the 17th century as well, while the British ultimately developed the largest network of trading posts, culminating in the establishment of British India.
The East India Company established a trading post on modern Singapore in 1819, but local empires were established in the areas as far back as the 2nd century CE.
