The transatlantic slave trade lasted from the 15th century to the late 19th century. Millions of African slaves were transported by European countries to the Americas to work on plantations. Britain transported the most slaves with over 2.6 million, followed by Portugal, Spain, France, and other countries. The slave trade significantly impacted populations in Africa and changed the demographic makeup of societies in the Americas.
