Abstract

Africa and its people are among the most abused throughout colonial history. In addition to the country's resources, people have been bought and sold. Western civilization has made great efforts to establish activity on this continent. The British Royal African Company has been pursuing the riches of this continent since its inception. Each company ship opened to the Atlantic has brought little to the land continent, but in return it has received everything to be exploited, especially its people. While each commercial expedition in the name of reaching gold and wealth brought more prosperity to the west, the castles were stuck in the continent like daggers. The British, who started the exploitation of Africa later than other European countries, closed this gap with the companies they established and their activities. Particularly in the enslavement of the continental people, great gains have been achieved. This study aims to reveal the activities of the Royal African Company, which is of great importance for British and African history. It is thought that the study will be able to better understand how the continent was exploited.

Özet

Afrika ve onun insanları sömürge tarihi boyunca en fazla istismar edilenler arasındadır. Ülkenin kaynaklarının yanı sıra insanları da alınıp satılmıştır. Batı medeniyeti bu kıtada etkinlik kurabilmek için büyük çaba harcamıştır. İngiliz Kraliyet Afrikan Şirketi´de kurulduğu ilk günden itibaren bu kıtanın zenginliklerinin peşine düşmüştür. Atlantiğe açılan her bir şirket gemisi kara kıtaya çok az şey kazandırıken karşılığında ise insanları başta olmak üzere sömürülecek herşeyi almıştır. Altına ulaşma ve zenginlik adına yapılan herbir ticari sefer batıya daha fazla refah getirirken kurulan kalelerde kıtaya adeta birer hançer gibi saplanmıştır. Afrika´nın sömürülmesine diğer Avrupa ülkelerine göre daha geç başlayan İngilizler ise kurdukları şirketleri ve faaliyetleri ile bu açığı kapatmıştır. Özellikle kıta insanının köleleştirilmesinden ise çok büyük kazançlar elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışma İngiliz ve Afrika tarihi açısından büyük bir öneme sahip Kraliyet Afrikan Şirketinin faaliyetlerini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamıştır. Çalışma sayesinde kıtanın nasıl sömürüldüğünün daha iyi anlaşılacağı düşünülmektedir.
