The king of Ghana gained wealth by taxing trade. Using the wealth gained from this taxation, Ghana quickly expanded into an empire. It conquered surrounding lands. The people living in the conquered lands were forced to give a tribute, or payment, to Ghana's king.

The kings held tightly to their power. They insisted that local rulers send their sons to the royal court. They rode through the countryside, seeking reports of rebellion.

Most important, they controlled trade.
