Defeated soldiers were sold into enslavement after a local or tribal war.
Slavery and enslavement are both the state and the condition of being a slave, who is someone forbidden to quit their service for an enslaver, and who is treated by the enslaver as their property.
Slavery operated in the first civilizations such as Sumer ( which dates back as far as 3500 BCE). Slavery features in the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi (c. 1750 BCE), which refers to it as an established institution. Slavery was widespread in the ancient world.
Today, 167 countries still have some form of modern slavery, which affects an estimated 46 million people worldwide.
