There was a migration of many tribes because of the abundance of rich resources elsewhere.

There was exportation of slaves during the slave-trade era.

The transatlantic slave trade (peaking from the 17th–19th centuries) forcibly removed millions of Africans, causing major population loss and social disruption.
