Question

The _______ were responsible for the forced migration of more people from Africa than any other colonial power.

Answer 1

The answer is the Portuguese. The Portuguese established many colonies along the coast of Africa as they were one of the first discovers of these lands. They established colonies there and forced the native population into slavery. As the demand of slavery grew, the Portuguese were able to profit from selling the slaves from their African colonies all throughout Europe. Their actions led to the greatest number of forced migrations of people from Africa.
