请帮忙翻译几个句子：
第一句：
The military subjugation of Africa in modern times, and the enslavement of sections of its population, was begun by Portugal in the middle of the 15th century;
这是下文，已经译出来了
in the ensuing years Spain, England, France, and Holland joined in the lucrative undertaking. 此后的岁月中，西班牙、英国、法国和荷兰都加入了这项有利可图的事业

第二句上文：The earliest extant record of a slave-catching expedition is that kept by Azurara, leader of a Portuguese venture in1446. 现存最早的捕捉奴隶的远征记载是1446年葡萄牙远征队队长阿祖拉拉写的。
第二句：
It is typical of hundreds that were to follow in the generations to come, and we may pause to examine the event as described by its guiding spirit.
Azurara’s ship made land on the West-Central coast of Africa. Soldiers swarmed ashore; captured a few curious souls, and pressed at once inland seeking more victims. They found a community of people, and for the rest, we turn to the record directly.

比较多，请帮忙翻译，谢谢！会令追加分数。

The beginning of the modern African slave trade preceded Columbus' voyage to the Western World by half a century. It started with Europeans invading the West African coast and seizing its inhabitants, in a rather crude and unorganized fashion, for sale on the European market, especially, in the first years, in Portugal and Spain.

Answer 1

1 现代对非洲的侵略和把他们国家的人成为奴隶，起源于葡萄牙在15世纪中期的时候。
2 上百人追随先代们的足迹到来，而我们猜测这事件由灵魂导向所描述。阿祖拉的船队到达非洲的中心西北岸，捕捉一些好奇的非洲人，和进入内陆寻找更多的黑人。他们找到了一个部落，剩下的描述，还是让我们直接回到记载吧。
