What happened to all those countless men and women who were stranded from the Ottoman and Arab slave trades? Today we will be discussing one of the world's most discrete slave trades, which saw the transportation of tens of millions of European Christians and African polytheists transplanted from their homeland into the Middle East, and the consequences on the genetics, culture and politics of the region.

Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the modern communities that formed through the descendants of these former slaves. Thanks for watching!
