The factor least important in making Mali a powerful empire in West Africa was likely its military prowess. While military strength played a role in expansion and defense, Mali's wealth was primarily derived from its control of trade routes, particularly in gold and salt, and its promotion of culture and education, notably in cities like Timbuktu. These economic and cultural factors were more critical to the empire’s enduring power and influence than sheer military might.

Ships were crucial in the maritime trade of the Mali Empire, as they were used to transport goods such as gold, salt, and other commodities across the Atlantic Ocean and along the rivers of West Africa. These ships helped facilitate trade with other regions, contributing to the wealth and prosperity of the Mali Empire.
