Europeans began enslaving Africans primarily due to the demand for labor in the Americas, where plantations required a large workforce for crops like sugar, tobacco, and cotton. The transatlantic slave trade provided a solution as Europeans sought to exploit Africa's resources while capitalizing on existing systems of enslavement. Additionally, the dehumanization of Africans, justified by racial ideologies, facilitated the brutal practice of slavery, leading to millions being forcibly transported and subjected to inhumane conditions. This system had profound and lasting effects on both continents.
