The Ghana Empire, flourishing from the 6th to the 13th centuries, utilized trade as a cornerstone of its wealth and power. It served as a critical hub for trans-Saharan trade, facilitating the exchange of gold, salt, and other goods between North African traders and sub-Saharan communities. The empire's control over key trade routes allowed it to levy taxes on goods passing through, generating substantial revenue that funded its military and administrative operations. This trade network not only bolstered the economy but also promoted cultural exchanges and the spread of Islam within the region.
