The beginning of the Transatlantic Slave Trade (-2) (1 Jan 1526 Jahr – 1 Jan 1526 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The establishment of the transatlantic slave trade had a profoundly negative impact on humanity, because of the catastrophic impact is had on several cultures and millions of people. This trade forcibly displaced around 12.5 million Africans until its end in 1807, subjecting them to brutal conditions and systematic dehumanization, including a high mortality rate during the Middle Passage and forced labor in harsh environments. Furthermore, the slave trade had long-lasting consequences, sustaining economic systems built on human suffering and inequality, which continue to influence societal structures today.
