Homework for Block E and H (Thursday 30 November) November 30, 2006
Last classes reflection.
Today in Social Studies I was taught about the History of Western Africa. I was taught about how the Songhai Empire grew to greatness, The Kingdom of Mali under Mansa Musa, and the the conquest of Songhai by Morocco.
Here are some facts that I was taught by my peers about the conquest of Songhai:
- Al-Mansur (leader at the time) wanted to control the salt and gold trade so he could become rich.
- West Africa seperated into different states because others went to find more gold and salt.
The Kingdom of Mali:
- Mali remained powerful for 2 centurys.
- Had a loving King (Mansa Munsa) who gave away gold for nothing.
How the Songhai Empire grew to greatness:
- Songhai got independence from Mali in 1435.
- Songhai was ruled by Mali for a ong time.
- Askia (ruler) spread Islam to West and East Africa.
- Askia had a neiraly tradition.
