Elle a engendré un dépeuplement des meilleurs éléments africains entraînant ainsi une forte baisse du taux démographique mais surtout une haine intense entre les différentes ethnies qui aboutirent à de nombreuses guerres tribales. En effet, les européens, hésitant à s'aventurer dans les terres, préféraient payer les africains pour obtenir des esclaves. Rapidement, d'importantes chasses à l'homme se développèrent entre les différentes ethnies et provoquèrent la migration des plus faibles. L'avis des experts est partagé, ils estiment le nombre d'esclaves capturés entre 20 et 100 millions sur l'ensemble du continent. Translation: The Slave Trade The slave trade is a scourge that has ravaged Africa for three centuries until it was banned in 1848 by the whole of Europe. It generated a depopulation of the best African elements thus involving a strong fall of the demographic rate but especially an intense hatred between the various ethnic groups which led to many tribal wars. Indeed, Europeans, hesitating to venture in the grounds, preferred to pay African to obtain slaves. Soon, major manhunts developed between the different ethnic groups and led to the migration of the weakest. The opinion of the experts is divided, they estimate the number of slaves captured between 20 and 100 million on the whole of the continent.
