The Songhai Empire, at its height in the 15th and 16th centuries, was one of the largest empires in African history, covering approximately 1.4 million square kilometers (540,000 square miles). It extended across parts of present-day Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso, with its capital at Gao. The empire thrived on trade, particularly in gold and salt, and was known for its cultural and educational centers, including the famous city of Timbuktu.
