The African slave trade was primarily controlled by European powers, particularly Portugal, Spain, Britain, France, and the Netherlands, from the 16th to the 19th centuries. These nations established coastal trading posts and collaborated with African leaders to facilitate the capture and transport of enslaved people. The trade was fueled by demand for labor in the Americas, especially in plantation economies. Ultimately, the slave trade was a complex system involving European traders, African middlemen, and colonial economies.

European interest in Africa shifted from the slave trade to colonization due to increased competition among European powers for territorial control, access to resources, and strategic advantages. The decline of the transatlantic slave trade as a profitable venture also played a role, leading European nations to seek new ways to exploit African territories for economic gain and geopolitical influence through colonization.
