Slavery has existed in various forms throughout human history and predates recorded history, making it difficult to pinpoint a specific individual or group who "introduced" it. Ancient civilizations, such as those in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, practiced slavery, often as a result of warfare, economic needs, or social hierarchies. The systems and justifications for slavery evolved over time and varied significantly across cultures. Ultimately, slavery is a complex institution that arose independently in many societies around the world.
In the 15th century, the Portuguese sent expiditions into sub-Saharan Africa. They colonized parts of northern Africa and with a stronger military than the native, smaller tribes they took slaves and held a monopoly over the slave trade to Europe. This is the first time black slave were introduced to Europe.
slavery was not an "invention"
Black slavery in Europe can be traced back to the ancient Romans and Greeks, who enslaved people from various regions, including Africa. However, the transatlantic slave trade, which significantly increased the presence of enslaved Africans in Europe, began in the 15th century with Portuguese and Spanish exploration and colonization. This was further expanded by other European powers, including the British, French, and Dutch, during the 16th to 19th centuries. The system of slavery became deeply entrenched in European economies and societies as a result.
