The Portuguese were among the first to engage in the transatlantic slave trade, starting in the 15th century. They initially enslaved Africans on the West African coast and later transported them to work in their colonies in the Americas, particularly in Brazil. This practice laid the groundwork for the broader transatlantic slave trade that involved other European nations over the following centuries.
