The Atlantic Slave Trade changed the world. It transformed human societies on three great continents - Africa, the Americas and Europe - and its knock-on affects would be felt even further afield.
Why did this terrible commerce begin - and then expand so greatly?
Who was involved?
How did it come to help shape the modern world to the extent that it did?
This app is for anyone who knows little or nothing about this crucial episode in world history, whose consequences will be with us while the human race endures. It also comes with Learning Challenges for students studying the period.
A sequence of maps, containing animations and numerous information points, shows how this centuries-long process unfolded over time: why the trade began; which factors drove its expansion; the impact it had on African societies; the new kinds of societies it gave rise to in the Americas; the unforeseen changes it brought to the European nations involved; and the long-term effects it had on world history.
The app also covers the terrible personal experiences of the enslaved Africans caught up in the trade - and of the hardly less lethal fates suffered by the European slavers.
