The trans-Atlantic slave trade refers to the forced transportation of millions of Africans to the Americas from the 16th to the 19th centuries. This brutal system involved the capture, sale, and shipment of enslaved individuals across the Atlantic Ocean, primarily to work on plantations in the Caribbean, South America, and North America. It was a significant part of the larger triangular trade, which also included the exchange of goods between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. The trade had devastating social, cultural, and economic impacts on African societies and contributed to the development of racial inequalities that persist today.

Slavery in Africa prior to the transatlantic slave trade often involved various forms of servitude, including debt bondage and war captives, where enslaved individuals could sometimes integrate into their captors' societies, marrying and retaining some rights. In contrast, the transatlantic slave trade commodified human beings on a massive scale, forcibly removing millions from their homelands, subjecting them to brutal conditions, and treating them as property without rights. The latter was characterized by a racialized system that dehumanized enslaved individuals, leading to generational enslavement and a legacy of systemic racism. Thus, while both systems involved exploitation, the transatlantic slave trade was marked by its extreme brutality and the scale of human suffering involved.
The most historically significant triangular trade was the transatlantic slave trade which operated between Europe, Africa and the Americas from the 16th to 19th centuries.
