The Mandi people, primarily through their strategic trade routes and agricultural innovations, transformed Mali into a powerful empire during the 13th to 16th centuries. They capitalized on the region's rich resources, such as gold and salt, facilitating trade across the Sahara Desert. The establishment of the city of Timbuktu as a cultural and economic hub further solidified Mali's influence, attracting scholars and traders alike. Strong leadership, particularly under figures like Mansa Musa, helped consolidate power and expand territorial boundaries, ultimately elevating Mali to an empire.
