How did the slave trade cause a power shift in Africa?

By helping supply the Europeans with the slave trade, the rulers of certain African states were able to increase their power by acquiring more slaves for themselves. The slave trade also transformed the existing states and societies in Africa. As states sought to expand at the expense of their neighbors, instability and warfare came about. The military became important. The slave trade became an extension of African politics. African governments in the enslaving societies became more centralized while the those who bore the brunt of the slaving attacks became anti authoritarian. There was also a shift in the locus of power. Before the Europeans, the powerful African states were those that were in central Africa and could influence the trans-Saharan trade routes. Once the Europeans arrived, the power shifted to those states which were closer to the coast.

Why Europeans become so involved in the exploration?

Europeans became deeply involved in exploration during the Age of Discovery primarily for economic, religious, and political reasons.

Advances in navigation and shipbuilding technology further facilitated these expeditions, enabling European powers to expand their influence globally.

What was slavery like in Africa before Europeans were involved?

Before Europeans were involved, a much smaller percentage of the African population was enslaved every year. Arab traders carried black slaves to various places in the Arab World to sell them, but a lot fewer were sold than would be sold later.

West Africa had established systems of slavery, and European traders exploited these networks to supply labor to their colonies. This resulted in devastating social and economic impacts on West African societies.

Europeans became heavily involved in the exploitation of Africa due to a combination of economic interests, resource demands, and the pursuit of new markets. The Industrial Revolution created a need for raw materials such as rubber, minerals, and agricultural products, which Africa could provide. Additionally, European nations sought to expand their empires and assert dominance through colonization, often justified by a belief in their own cultural superiority and a desire to "civilize" the African populations. This exploitation was facilitated by advancements in technology and transportation, making it easier to access and control vast territories.
