How did Ghana, Mali, and Songhai become rich?

Mali:
Mali became rich because they had important trade routes which led into a lot of traders traveling through them and they had to pay taxes on their goods, and the leader controlled trade routes.

Ghana and Songhai:
Ghana and Songhai became rich because salt and gold were the basis of trade. Traders exchanged salt for gold, and some gold was sold to traders and salt was valuable.

Why do you think Islam spread so quickly in Mecca and surrounding areas?

I think that Islam spread so quickly in Mecca and surrounding areas because trade at these times was the most important means of culture and knowledge exchange. Also, because all people went from Mecca to all over the world to spread God’s message.

Mali began to lose its power when mansa musa died. Why do you think?

Mali began to lose its power when Mansa Musa died, because before he died he used his new ties to the Muslim people to make Mali a center of learning. Although when he died These learnings and powers began to fade. And raiders attacked from north, and fighting broke out within the kingdom. And some provinces broke away and became independent.

How did Mali, Ghana and Songhai get rich?

Mali ----> Mali had grown rich from trade, traders traveling through these lands had to pay taxes on all their goods. This also made the kingdom rich. It had become the most powerful kingdom in West Africa. Then Mansa Musa become the ruler of Mali. He expanded his kingdom and made a new ties between Mali and the Muslim peoples of North Africa and Southwest Asia and he used these ties to make Mali a center of learning. All these things ( the expansion of the country and the ties between the countries) made Mali a richer country.



Songhai ----> Songhai's leader controlled trade routes and the sources of salt and gold, which made the country rich. It's wealth and power grew when it conquered the rich trading city of Tombouctou.



Ghana ----> Ghana is a kingdom built on trading salt and gold which means that they have lots of salt and gold and that also means that they are rich. Salt was very valuable. People needed it to flavor food, to preserve meat and to maintain good health so they used to trade a lot of salt. Ghana was just north of the rich gold fields.
