Songhai gained access to important trade routes, such as the Trans-Saharan trade route, by expanding north.

Additionally, they were able to establish alliances with other powerful kingdoms in the region, strengthening their political and economic influence.
The transatlantic slave trade route is commonly known as the Middle Passage. It involved the transportation of African slaves to the Americas, primarily in ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
