The arrival of Africans to the Caribbean began in the early 16th century, with significant numbers brought through the transatlantic slave trade starting around the 1500s. The first recorded shipment of enslaved Africans to the Caribbean occurred in 1518, when the Spanish brought enslaved individuals to work on plantations. This marked the beginning of a tragic and extensive period of forced migration that significantly shaped the region's Demographics and culture.
