Slavery is ownership of one person by another. The master controls the slave and tells him what to do.

Slavery has existed at least since ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, where Hebrews were slaves. The primary slave market in ancient Greece was on an island in the Aegean sea known as "Delos". From there slaves were traded and used throughout the Greek city-states.

Often prisoners-of-wars in ancient history were used as slaves, particularly during the Roman Empire. Christianity helped lessen the harshness by which Romans treated slaves. Slavery was also pervasive among Arabs.

African slave labor become profitable in the 1700s and early 1800s due to the use of slavery in the New World, particularly in Brazil and southern regions of the United States.

The Germans used slaves during World War II, particularly Jews, Russians and Slavs whom the Germans all felt were racially inferior.
