So we need to learn about how the Songhai Build An Empire! And if we do that successfully, no one will die! A.P.E.P is short for: Agent Pros Educating Peeps

  3. The Songhai build an empire! Are you able to learn this lesson and save Earth?

  4. The Songhai Empire! From the BEGINNING! While Mali was reaching its height, a rival was forming. The rival was the Songhai Kingdom. From capital of Gao, Songhai used the same trade that made Ghana and Mali so rich. In the 1300s Songhai became so rich and powerful that it drew the attention of the rulers in Mali. Mansa Musa, then, sent his army to conquer Songhai and make their lands part of his empire. Gao became one of the most important cities in Mali.

  5. The Birth Of The Empire! The Songhai didn't stay part of Mali's empire for very long. As Mali's government grew weaker, the people of Songhai rose up against it to regain their freedom. Even before they were conquered by Mali, the leaders of the Songhai had become Muslims. The Songhai shared a common religion with many Berbers who crossed Sahara to trade in West Africa. Because of this , the Berbers were willing to trade with Songhai. And this was the start to how they began to grow richer.

  6. Growth And Conquest! As Songhai grew richer from trans-Saharan trade, they expanded their territory as they built an empire. Songhai's growth was mostly because of one man, Sunni Ali. He became the ruler of Songhai in 1464. Before Sunni Ali took over, Songhai had been disorganized and was run poorly. He would constantly work to bring together, strengthen, and enlarge the empire. A lot of the land that Sunni Ali added to his empire had been part of Mali. He conquered the wealthy trade cities of Timbuktu and Djenne. In 1468 the rulers of Mali asked Sunni Ali to help fight off Turaeg, invaders who were about to capture Timbuktu. Sunni Ali agreed to this, but once he had driven off the invaders he decided to keep the city for himself. Then he launched attacks against Djenne, which he finally captured five years later. Sunni Ali encouraged all of the people in his empire to work together. As a result, he brought peace and stability to Songhai.
