Summary:
This period is marked by the end
of the great indigenous empires and the early contacts with
Europeans. The system of exploitation of Africa’s human
resources by Europe and America known as the slave trade
was put in place and lasted throughout these three centuries.
The period also saw the transformation of coastal societies,
from Senegal to Congo and in East Africa. |
