The declining empire of Ghana was conquered by the rising power of the Mali Empire in the 13th century. The Mali Empire, under the leadership of figures like Sundiata Keita and later Mansa Musa, capitalized on Ghana's weakened state and expanded its influence, particularly through control of gold trade routes. This transition marked the rise of Mali as a dominant empire in West Africa, overshadowing the remnants of Ghana.
The kingdom that took over Ghana was the Mali Empire. In the 13th century, under the leadership of Sundiata Keita and later Mansa Musa, the Mali Empire expanded significantly and absorbed the territories of the Ghana Empire, which had weakened due to internal strife and external pressures. This transition marked a significant shift in power in West Africa, leading to a flourishing of trade and culture under Mali's rule.
