Mali's rise to power was significantly aided by its wealthy rulers, particularly Mansa Musa in the 14th century, who expanded the empire's territory and trade networks. The strategic location of the empire, which controlled important trans-Saharan trade routes, facilitated the exchange of gold, salt, and other goods. Additionally, the influence of Islam and the establishment of centers of learning, such as Timbuktu, attracted scholars and traders, further enhancing Mali's prominence and cultural development.

Mali lost power primarily due to a combination of internal strife, economic decline, and external pressures. The empire faced fragmentation as local leaders gained autonomy, weakening central authority. Additionally, the rise of competing powers, such as the Songhai Empire, and disruptions in trade routes diminished Mali's economic strength. By the late 16th century, these factors collectively led to Mali's decline and loss of influence in West Africa.
