The Rise and Fall of the Mali Empire

Описание к видео The Rise and Fall of the Mali Empire

Did you know that at the time, the Mali Empire was the largest empire Africa had seen?

Founded by Sundiata Keita in 1240, the Mali Empire became the wealthiest kingdom of West Africa and was Africa’s largest empire up to that time. The Mali Empire flourished under its first king as a centralised government. Diplomatic ties with other principalities and a well-trained army were established, and even greater heights of wealth and expansion of territory were gained under King Mansa Musa I who reigned in the early fourteenth century. The wealth of the Mali Empire developed through control of the regional trade routes as they served as a middle trader between North Africa and the Niger River to the south.
