The first country to bring enslaved Africans to the Americas was Spain, which began importing enslaved Africans to its colonies in the early 16th century, around the 1500s. This practice was established to meet labor demands in the colonies, particularly in sugar production. The transatlantic slave trade expanded significantly over the following centuries, with other European nations, including Portugal, England, and France, also participating in the trade.
