Songhai Empire
The most recent significant West African civilization was the Kingdom of Ghana, which flourished from around the 6th to the 13th centuries, followed by the Mali Empire that rose to prominence in the 13th century. However, if considering the latest historically recognized states, the Songhai Empire, which reached its peak in the 15th and 16th centuries, is often cited as the last major pre-colonial West African civilization. These empires were known for their wealth, trade networks, and cultural achievements, particularly in areas such as education and the arts.
In 476 Odoacer, the commander of Germanic troops which fought for the Romans, deposed the last Roman emperor of the west, Romulus Augustus. He did not destroy the empire. After this Theodoric the Great of the (Germanic) Visigoths was sent to depose Odoacer by Zeno, the Roman emperor of the east. Historians used 476 as a conventional date for the end of the Roman empire of the west because there were no further emperors. However, some historians disagree and point out that Theodoric wanted to restore the glory of the empire.

The Roman Empire had been divided into the East Roman Empire, with its capital at Constantinople, and the West Roman Empire, with its capital either at Rome or Ravenna, in 395.

In 476, the last emperor of the West Roman Empire was deposed, and the emperor of the East Roman Empire was asked to assume control of the whole. This is the event referred to as the Fall of the Roman Empire. The Roman Senate, which had operated in Rome since before the Roman Republic continued to operate after the purported fall, and its last known act was after the year 600. The East Roman Empire continued to operate until Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453.
