Aksum and Ethiopia
The Kingdom of Aksum began to decline in the 7th century, primarily due to the rise of Islam, which disrupted trade routes and diminished its economic power. By the 9th century, the kingdom had significantly weakened, facing internal strife and competition from neighboring states. Eventually, it fell into decline, with its influence diminishing by the 10th century, leading to its eventual collapse and the rise of successor states in the region.

The kingdom of Aksum had a port on the Red Sea. Aksum was also known as the Aksumite Empire. Scholars have agreed that it was founded by an indigenous African development.
They grew powerful through trade.
Aksum began a long slow decline after the 7th century due partly to Islamic groups contesting trade routes. Eventually Aksum was cut off from its principal markets in Alexandria, Byzantium and Southern Europe and its trade share was captured by Arab traders of the era. The Kingdom of Aksum also quarreled with Islamic groups over religion. Eventually the people of Aksum were forced south and their civilization declined.
When Muslims invaded the region in the 7th century, the Kingdom of Aksum faced significant challenges due to the rise of Islam and the shifting trade routes. The invasion led to the decline of Aksum's power as it lost control over its trade networks, particularly to the emerging Muslim states. Additionally, the spread of Islam in the area contributed to a reduction in Aksumite influence, ultimately leading to the kingdom's fragmentation and decline. Aksum's legacy, however, continued through its cultural and religious contributions, particularly in Ethiopia.
