Answer 1

The transatlantic slave trade was MOST immediately preceded by **the Age of Exploration**. This era, which began in the 15th century, involved European powers exploring and colonizing various parts of the world, leading to the demand for labor in the colonies, ultimately resulting in the establishment of the transatlantic slave trade to supply enslaved Africans for labor.
