The Songhai Empire (sometimes spelled Songhay) is regarded by scholars and laymen alike as one of Africa's greatest empires. The Songhai Empire rose to particularly lofty heights in the late 1400s during the magnificent rule of Sunni Ali. During the reign of Sunni Ali most of what was formerly the Ghanaian and Mali Empires were incorporated into the Songhai Empire
The Empire of Songhai came to an end primarily due to internal strife and external pressures. A succession of weak rulers led to political instability, while the empire's vast size made it difficult to govern effectively. Additionally, the Moroccan invasion in 1591, equipped with firearms, significantly weakened Songhai military power, leading to its eventual conquest. These factors combined resulted in the fragmentation of the empire and its decline.

The empire also had a system of appointed officials to help govern its territories.
The Three Great emperors of Songhai were actually Two Great emperors of Songhai, which were Sunni Ali and Askia the Great. You could actually consider Musa another Great emperor of Songhai, since he made his father, Askia the Great, leave the throne because Askia the Great became blind, and Musa reigned after him, and then then empire of Songhai collapsed.
