The Empire of Ghana began around the 6th century CE, primarily as a collection of trading states in West Africa. Its rise was facilitated by the strategic control of trade routes that linked the Sahara Desert to the forests of West Africa, allowing it to prosper through the trade of gold, salt, and other goods. The wealth generated from these trade networks helped establish a centralized authority, which evolved into the powerful Kingdom of Ghana. This empire became a key player in the trans-Saharan trade, attracting merchants and contributing to its growth and influence in the region.
