What groups of people did the Europeans force to work as slaves in the New World?
Most of the people the Europeans brought over to the New World as slaves were West Africans from the central an western part of Africa. This was known as the Atlantic slave trade.
Why did Europeans view African slaves as a better a source of labor than Native Americans?
There are 3 Answers! Be sure to get them all.AnswerAfricans were immune to the conditions and diseases. It was because the africans were already in contact with the europeans when they had started trading with one another. Europeans felt they could indur the climate because of their skin color. Many Native Americans started to die off because of the diseases. Alot of the native Americans also started to escape,fight back, and many of them died off. They also felt that Africans were cheaper. AnswerThe Native Americans were less resistant to the diseases that the Europeans brought over. The Portuguese and other sailors had already made the selling of African slaves an established trade. In North America, the settlers initially weren't in a position to take Native Americans as slaves because they lived a precarious existence that needed to be at peace with the Natives to continue. AnswerThere were more Africans available and the Europeans found it more pracitcal to buy Africans from Africans than to attempt to capture "Native Americans."
Why did africans engage in slave trade?
Although some people think it was all the Europeans fought that Africa was taken over but it was also the Africans. African leaders (mainly in West Africa), engaged in the slave trade and received some advantages. Some African kings traded their people for weapons.
What advantages did Europeans have over people elsewhere in the world during the late 1800s?
At the time Europe was home to the most powerful and richest empires of the time: Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, France and Great Britain. Over the centuries, European countries had become master of all the major trade routes and of all major world trade, were masters of the richest Asian countries like Indonesia and India and had made themselves 'protectors' of most of Africa. Other advantages were that Europe - together with the US - was way ahead of the rest of the world in the field of technology and weaponry. And the ruthlessness with which European countries pursued their goals and set out their strategies usually had them several steps ahead of whoever they were dealing with at any point.
