Why did plantation owners turn to enslaved africans as a labor force how did this lead to the creation of the transatlantic slave trade?

Plantation owners turned to enslaved Africans as a labor force primarily due to the high demand for labor-intensive crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton, which required a large and reliable workforce. Indigenous populations had been decimated by disease and conflict, while European indentured servants proved to be insufficient in number and often left after their contracts expired. This demand for labor led to the establishment of the transatlantic slave trade, where millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas to work on plantations, creating a brutal and dehumanizing system that fueled economic growth in Europe and the colonies.
