Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dutch slave ships traveled from Africa to Brazil (under Dutch control from 1630 to 1654) or the Dutch Caribbean, and Curaçao in particular. Many of the enslaved men, women, and children who were brought aboard these slave ships would not survive the transatlantic passage.

Detailed explanation-2: -We now believe that as many as 1, 506, 000 enslaved Africans arrived in the Spanish Americas directly from Africa between 1520 and 1867. We further estimate that an additional 566, 000 enslaved Africans were disembarked in Spanish America from other European colonies in the New World, such as Jamaica and Brazil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Under Riebeeck’s leadership, slaves were imported from colonies in Indonesia and Madagascar to fill a labour shortage left by what the Dutch slavers described as the “uncooperative” nature of the local Khoisan groups, who refused to be subjugated and went on to lead numerous uprisings against the colonial powers.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the Al-Andalus (also known as Muslim Spain or Islamic Iberia), the Moors controlled much of the peninsula. They imported white Christian slaves from the 8th century until the end of the Reconquista in the late 15th century.
