What factor led to the fall of the kingdom of Mali and Songhai?
Internal conflict
Was it inevitable for the Mali Empire to fall?
NO. The fall of any country can be avoided. In the case of Mali, active engagement with Sa'adian Morocco, which had firearms, led to the destruction of Mali. As a result, if Mali had found a way to acquire firearms, or was able to restrain itself from trying to attack the Songhai and remain outside of Morocco's view, the empire could have likely continued on.
What ruler led Songhai in its conquest of Mali?
Sundiata led an attack against Sumanguru's capitol city of Sosso, in Mali, and destroyed it in a single morning. But, Sunni Ali became the ruler of Songhai in 1464 and a lot of the land he added to his kingdom had been part of the Mali Empire. Hope I helped. I just happen to be learning about this too.

The arrival of the Europeans?
The arrival of the European in the 15th and 16th century led to the slave trade. The Europeans traders were involved in the African kingdoms like Mali and Ghana because of their sophisticated trading networks.
How did mali lose power?
Mali lost power primarily due to a combination of internal strife, economic decline, and external pressures. The empire faced fragmentation as local leaders gained autonomy, weakening central authority. Additionally, the rise of competing powers, such as the Songhai Empire, and disruptions in trade routes diminished Mali's economic strength. By the late 16th century, these factors collectively led to Mali's decline and loss of influence in West Africa.
How did Songhai change its environment?
The Songhai Empire altered its environment by constructing an extensive system of irrigation canals and cultivating crops such as millet and sorghum. This improved agricultural productivity, facilitated trade, and supported the growth of urban centers within the empire. Additionally, the empire's expansion led to deforestation in some regions to make way for agriculture and urban development.
What is some of the art of Ancient Songhai?
The empires of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai controlled West Africa between A.D. 1000 and 1500. Each empire thrived on the trade of goods across the Sahara and was affected by the exchange of culture and belief systems along the trade routes. As each empire declined, the next empire took its place. Many great kings led these empires-for example, Mali's Mansa Musa-and they helped spread West African culture and resources around the world. One such resource was gold.
