1620 鈥� 1789: From sugar to rebellion

17th century. The Atlantic has become the battlefield of the sugar war. French, English, Dutch and Spaniards fought for the Caribbean to cultivate sugar cane. To satisfy their dreams of fortune, the European kingdoms opened new slavery routes between Africa and the islands of the New World.

Almost seven million trapped Africans were caught up in a huge hurricane of violence.
