Rise and Fall of the Sudanic Kingdoms

The Fall

The fall of the Sudanic Kingdoms consisted of politics and misguided power. Both the Sanhadja Confederation, and the Almoravid Empire were weakened by internecine warfare ( relating to slaughter or carnage; bloody), and both succumbed (died) to further invasions from the Ghana Empire and the Almohad Empire.

The rise in the Sudanic Kingdoms was because of many reasons including: solidarity (unity or agreement of feeling or action, esp. among individuals with a common interest; mutual support within a group), statehood organization, and trading. The slave trade was an important part of the rise.

Sudanic Kingdoms such as Ghana, Mali, Songhai, and Karem- Borno owed their power and wealth to controlling the southern part of the trans-Saharan trade.

Almoravids

Sudanic Empires and Kingdoms

First, the Almoravids attacked and subdued (conquer) the Djodala, forcing them to acknowledge Islam. Then the Almoravids succeeded in recreating the political unity of the Sanhadja Confederation and adding to it a religious unity and purpose.

Ghana, the first of West African Sudanic kingdoms, included in its territory all of southeastern Mauritania extending to Tagant. Ghana reached its apogee in the ninth and tenth centuries with the extension of its rule over the Sanhadja Berbers. The Sudanic Kingdom controlled the southern terminus of the trans-Saharan trade in gold, ivory, and salt.
