The decline of Timbuktu, once a thriving center of trade and scholarship, was influenced by several factors, including the shift of trade routes to coastal areas, which diminished its economic significance. Additionally, the rise of rival empires and the impact of colonialism weakened its political and cultural status. Environmental changes, such as desertification, also contributed to its decline, making it less accessible and reducing its population. These factors combined led to the gradual decrease in Timbuktu's prominence from the 17th century onward.
