Economic

Explanation:

The colonizers and people from various wealthy countries such as the United Kingdom needed people to work for them, this meant that they discovered Africa and also because of racial reasons saw Africans as 'sub-human' so they were thought as expendable objects of work, which allowed them to have slaves for their own doings.
