The destruction of these African civilizations began in the 15th century CE after Pope Nicholas declared in the 14th century CE that all black-skinned people, Saracens and those Africans that Europeans called 'Moor'(like the Moor, a character in Shakespeare's Othello), were to be converted to the property of Europe and subjected to perpetual slavery right away, Portuguese went out after their discovery of Cape Verde islands to set up forts along the coast of west Africa in order to plunder African resources and her people from 1445 CE.
