As the world progressed through medieval times, great empires rose and fell across Europe and Africa. However, in the 15th century, trans-oceanic voyages were allowing imperialism to reach distant shores. This new form of control became rampant, and untamed capitalism put the slave trade at its core.
During this time in West Africa, a mighty empire was reaching its zenith. The Songhai Empire built on the power of the trans-Saharan trade routes like its predecessors, the Ghana and Mali Empires. In fact, the Songhai Empire became the greatest kingdom West Africa had ever seen.

Most influential Kingdom of Sub-Saharan Africa together with the Aksumite empire and the Songhai preceding Mali empire
Songhai is so underrated.
Songhai sounds like an Chinese word
@@frankfleming1103 because you pronounce it with an English accent
@@frankfleming1103it’s supposed to be pronounced “Shongai”.
@@grenadaball7655 noted. Thank you for the correct.
@@TheOne-xu5oyit still sounds Chinese
This historical video information is fascinating.
Great thanks
I need you and nutty history to throw hands
The largest empire ever from Africa is the Kanem Borno empire. It's so great that it existed over 200 years. Kanem Borno was so big that it took most vassal states a lot of years to know that MAI DUnamabDibalemi the second had died, as all vassals were still paying tributes.
1000 years, not 200
How did you literally skipped the founder of the Empire, Sundieta Keita???
a small error at 4:15, instead of Massai ( an east african tribe far far away) he repelled the Mossi tribe ( today the indigenous people of Burkina Faso).
🤓
Yeah, I got that too.

Yeah, I got that too.
You forgot to mentioned that the majority of the Moroccan expeditionary force did not make it back to Morocco … a lot of them succumbed to Malaria , lack of nutrition and other diseases.
Now people should talk about this and make a movie about this instead of the Cleopatra one
Reminiscence - Kenya 🇰🇪 Primary Schools 1980s
Ancient Egyptian empire clenching their fist
Brono empire is larger than Mali empire.
No it isn’t lol
@@nickelleraffaelle3529
Yes it is
@@ibrahimsuleiman8473 bigger than mali, smaller than songhai
No no noo after SONGHAI EMPIRE is MALI empire
And in Africa here the largest kingdom is farroo Egyptian gods the farrow Egypt kingdom after them the SONGHAI EMPIRE is the second good
Your use of ce instead of ad has caused me to stop watching
‘Bakr’ isn’t “Baker” and ‘Mossi’ isn’t “Maasai.” Come on this is a highly respected channel. Learn the correct pronunciation.
Morocco with the support of europeans destroyed songhai then chased them into the slave coasts of south west africa. Where the south west africans captured us and brought us to the slave castles. Then now u me we r here in the Americas
Dont forget how the songhai people trusted the south west africans but they led us to slave castles.
They didnt go after them on slave coasts. Songhai survived and formed smaller kingdoms and are still present in Mali
@@dann_mrtins they did its documented the trans saharan gold trade collapse because europeans(spain) discovered the americas. Europeans(spain/portugal) needed slaves to cultivate the new world. Majority of muslims slaves were educated proof of their heritage from songhai.
@@dann_mrtins the atlantic slave trade increased right after the songhai empire collapsed.
First
...is the worst.
Do y’all think that it’s coincidental that their name sounds Asian👀
Well..yes?
Cancel the Songhai Empire
They had slavery
The slave trade was important to the Songhai Empire. They used slaves to transport goods across the Sahara Desert to Morocco and the Middle East. They were also sold to Europeans to work in Europe and the Americas. Slaves were typically captives of war taken during raids of nearby regions.
Do you cancel the History of Rome or European countries for this same reason?
@@theScyth1most of the countries with the most slaves and highest rates of slavery in the world are in Asia. Also, what does this have to do with anything the person said who replied to OP?
@@theScyth1no one said Europeans invented slavery.
@@theScyth1 Europeans did not abolish slavery. Slave uprisings ended slavery
@@theScyth1Pre-colonial African slavery was more like an indentured servitude or a serfdom, an individual yet still had the opportunity to stratify in their society. Your fate wasn’t doomed as under the cruel system of chattel slavery created in the Americas. Evidence of how majorly different the context of slavery was on the continent is in the mere fact one of the greatest emperors to ascend the throne of the Mali empire in the 13th century began his life as a slave, that is Mansa Sakura.
Africa's greatest empire? How about the empire of morocco that conquered the songhai and caused its fall, and once was ruling from southern Spain to modern mali
Moroccon empires influence and rule was from southern France in the north to Senegal and Nigeria in the south and to borders Of Egypt in the east
Carthage , ghana was Africa’s most greatest empires
They only conquered because the songhay didn't have mondern weapons and were weak due to infighting..
@@LICKMYNYNE
It was 1k Moroccans vs an army of 30k songhay, Morocco conquered the area of modern day Mali and Senegal many times before sultan Almensour did it, he founded the pashalik of Timbuktu in mali which only fell in the 1800s.
Because they used guns invented by the Chinese.
The greatest empire of africa is morocco with the almohade empire and almoravide empire and saadi empire and the cherifian empire.
How would you measure greatness?

@@omarbiji5934 Great list. Yes, the Moroccans do have a powerful, brutal, beautiful and varied history altogether. But calling their empires the greatest of Africa is difficult when you also have to compare the civilizations of Egypt, Carthage, Nubia, Ethiopia, and the entire Sudan. Not to mention the accomplishments of smaller kingdoms that have given us worldwide marvels such as Great Zimbabwe and the Walls of Benin. The continent and its history as a whole is great.
@@BatmanRules we have a gate in Jérusalem "the moroccan gate"😎
What did they invent?
Is that a question or a statement? Perhaps you are very clever than those people so I wouldn't mind hearing the statement.
@@lonewulfmo9128 a question
They had invented an array of biochemical weapons
A centralized state, professional army
@@JcoleMc my point exactly. Some questions are mostly rhetorical.
Sunni and The Songhai were Hebrew descendants. That’s why they don’t get much respect.
😂😂
They weren't hebrew
Foolish and enough of foolish
No they were Partially muslim
