One of the earliest kingdoms in West Africa was created by the Soninke people, who established the Ghana Empire around the 6th century. This kingdom became a significant trading hub, known for its wealth in gold and its strategic location along trans-Saharan trade routes. The Ghana Empire laid the foundation for subsequent West African states, such as the Mali and Songhai empires.
