Firearms were the one main advantage that the Europeans had in subduing Africa. Without them, the pestilence common in Central Africa would have destroyed them along with a skilled Songhai defense. The Songhai would likely have survived.

Songhai was defeated in the late 16th century primarily due to a combination of internal strife, economic decline, and external pressures. The kingdom faced power struggles among its leaders, weakening its central authority. Additionally, the invasion by Moroccan forces in 1591, equipped with firearms and cannons, decisively contributed to Songhai's downfall. This military defeat, compounded by the loss of control over trade routes, led to the collapse of one of West Africa's most powerful empires.
