In one paragraph, explain the evolution of the slave trade from its start to its expansion to other continents.

The transatlantic slave trade - the forcible removal of African slaves from Africa to plantations and mines in the colonies of the New World and some other colonies of the European powers - lasted more than 400 years. Its beginning dates back to the middle of the 15th century, when the first Portuguese sailors reached the West African coast. The end of the era of the European-American slave trade - the 70s of the 19th century - coincides with the beginning of the colonial division of the African continent. The slave trade was one of the “main points” of the initial accumulation of capital; it had a great influence on the development of capitalism in the countries of Europe and America. The slave trade, before its official prohibition at the beginning of the 19th century, was a legitimate, universally recognized and profitable branch of trade, with a clear organization of European and American trading houses. The Africans, for their part, also created on the coast a fairly organized system of buying and selling their compatriots. The chaos of the slave trade should be discussed only in relation to those areas where slaves were captured.

Explanation:

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.

the pogroms became known as kristallnacht, the "night of shattered glass," for the shattered glass from the store windows that littered the streets. the morning after the pogroms 30,000 german jewish men were arrested for the "crime" of being jewish and sent to concentration camps, where hundreds of them perished.
