Slavery expanded in the 1400s primarily due to the growth of European exploration and colonization, particularly in Africa and the Americas. The demand for labor to work on plantations and in mines created a need for a reliable workforce, leading to the transatlantic slave trade. Additionally, the decline of indigenous populations due to disease and conflict made African slaves a preferred source of labor for European settlers. This expansion was driven by economic interests and the desire for profits in the burgeoning global trade networks.
