Pan Africanism Today: Episode seven

Episode Seven: Continuing the Slave Trade, Invasion on Africa by the Portuguese and the

British.

Description: Dark historical periods including the transatlantic slave trade and European

colonization in Africa that had far-reaching and disastrous effects on the African continent

and its inhabitants. It's important to remember that several other European countries were

also involved in the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism in Africa, even though the

Portuguese and British were the main actors in these events. The Portuguese were among the

earliest European powers to explore the African coast in the 15th century. The profitability of

the slave trade played a significant role in the growth of the British economy during the 18th

century. Slavery was deeply entrenched in British colonies, and the system was maintained

through laws and violence.
