Timbuktu was a city in ancient Mali and the Songhai Empire that was a place of learning.
Timbuktu was a significant city in both the Mali Empire and the Songhai Empire. It flourished under the Mali Empire in the 14th century as a center for trade, culture, and Islamic scholarship. Later, it became an important part of the Songhai Empire, which succeeded Mali in the 15th century, further enhancing its status as a hub of commerce and learning.
In the 1300s Songhai had become so rich and powerful to draw attention of the rulers of Mali. Then, they sent an army to conquer Songhai. Later, as the Empire of Mali became weaker, they rose up against them, and won their freedom.
