Slave trade
It is not clear to what period or what kind of trade you are referring. If it's the trade after the discovery of the Americas the countries most involved were Spain and Portugal and later, England. If it's the transatlantic slave trade, the countries involved were England and the United States, and to a lesser extent Portugal and the Dutch Republic.
The transatlantic slave trade began primarily due to the demand for labor in the Americas, particularly for the cultivation of cash crops like sugar, tobacco, and later, cotton. Additionally, European colonizers sought a more cost-effective and reliable workforce than indentured servants, leading to the enslavement of millions of Africans. Lastly, the existing African slave trade networks facilitated the capture and transport of enslaved individuals, making it easier for Europeans to exploit this system for economic gain.
