  1. convenient for the US to be so low on the list considering they were mostly the destination for them

  2. I’m always sceptical of any statistics where the Danes actually beat us. Where is Sweden? Surely we had more slaves than the Danes at least?

  3. Not to diminish our No.1 place but always convenient with those statistics to leave out the African nations enslaving their people to sell them

  4. Wait a minute… is that a new Western Europe map just dropped ????

  5. Portugal had a lower population number than the amount of slaves those days… that’s an impressive per capita score… Chapeau!

  6. The original transatlantic Uber Service! High capacity transportation!

  7. Okay, now dig a little deeper… just a step further… go on…

  8. I know it looks bad, but Nº1 is still Nº1.
    Portugal wins once again

  9. **Trans-Atlantic.** Stop it with whataboutism, two wrongs don’t make a right.

  10. From controlling half of the planet to Atlantic Balkan. How did they fall off so hard?

  11. Denmark??

    Wow, they were really quiet about this, weren’t they?

  12. Portugal and Uk always on top for the worst reasons

  13. Much like an old german war veteran, these are medals that cannot be displayed and flaunted.

  14. 27.000 trips were sailed between Africa and the Americas. Almost half sailed under a Portuguese flag. At one point the route between West-Africa and Brazil became so lucrative that the ships straight up skipped going back to Portugal to sell their sugar.

    Which is a very understandable thing to do.

  15. The ancient UK-Portugal alliance is starting to make sense now.

  16. No African country hunting their own people only to sell them to Europeans?

  17. Well, what a stroke of luck that our guys sailed under the flags of other nations. That way, we can now wash our hands of any guilt.

  18. Denmark and the other Baltic countries are finally correctly categorized.

  19. I think its supposed to be Denmark-Norway, not baltics. Denmark-Norway was a thing back then, and they did a whole lot of slave trading

  20. >excelled at something

    Even something per capita

    PORTUGAL CHAMPION NUMERO 1🏆🏆🏆☝️☝️☝️🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

  22. And in classic Portugese Slav style, they set the example for Stalin replacing anyone he could get his hands on. Although transferring people to Siberia is just trans-atlantic if you ignore Savagelands.

  23. This data is fake…there’s was no dashboards back then…

    Plus most of the ships sank with the records… blame the Dutch and Barry for that…

  24. This is why we love our Portubros, even if they did beat us ❤️
