Introduction Paragraph:

Timeline of Mali

Mali fell after years of prosperity due to The struggles it faced externally and internally along with the loss of importnant places that the Empire relied on. Internally, the fight for royal succession often led to civil wars against family members aiming for the throne, this led to arguments and resentment that eventually ripped the Empire apart. Externally, they eventuially fell due to attacks from neighboring states, such as the Holy war with the Bamana people. An important place they lost is the trans-Saharan Trade network, of which they relied on for the influx of good that could only be obtained through this trade. The Mali Empire primarily fell due to the loss of the trans-Saharan trade network, internal struggles and external conflicts, such as the holy war instigated against Muslim rulers by the Bamana people.

Mansa Musa II was most known for how according to oral tradition, Abubakari gathered shipbuilders. He had built multiple boats so in case one fails, they have more for backup.

Maghan I was a great ruler of the Mali Empire, who took over after his father Kankan Musa I's passing in 1337. Kankan Musa I is widely regarded as one of the most prosperous emperors of Mali, second only to the legendary founder Sundiata. Maghan took on the empire at its peak, during a time of great prosperity and success.

During the mid-14th century, Mansa Sulayman held the position of Mansa in the Mali Empire. He was the brother of Mansa Musa and took over from Musa's son Magha as the new leader. As Mansa, Sulayman carried on the diplomatic relations with the Marinid Sultanate that had been established by his brother.

Founding of the Mali Empire by Sundiata Keita

Battuta was a Muslim who wrote the Rihlah, a famous travel log. He most likely came to Mali looking to join the inner circle of Rulers. He is quoted saying that the Mali people "have a greater hatred of injustice than any other people."

Sundiata Keita's Reign

met with the Sultan of Egypt,

Mansa Musa had a meeting with, Mamluk sultan al-Nasir Muhammad, of Egypt. The Sultan expected a bow from Musa but he refused. In the end he relunctantly bowed, saying he only did so for God.

A powerful and wealthy African empire, known as Mali, was established by him, and he also proclaimed the very first charter of human rights, known as the Manden Charter.

After defeating the Soso at the Battle of Kirina, He marched on their kingdom and took total control. He established the Mali Empire and managed to conquer much of the Empire of Ghana as well. Keita took control of the gold and salt trade, which helped him become rich and powerful. It was a challenging journey, but he managed to overcome all obstacles and emerge victorious. The future looked bright for Mali.

Ruler of Mali

Mansa Musa is widely recognized for his impressive pilgrimage to Mecca, which left a lasting impression on the Middle East and Europe. Although he was also known for his vast and wealthy realm, including the construction of the Great Mosque in Timbuktu, it is his pilgrimage that remains a prominent feature of his legacy.

Under his rule

Sundiata Keita reigned

He ruled the Empire of Mali from 1235 C.E. to 1255 C.E.

According to the historian Nehemia Levtzion, Uli was a remarkable ruler of Mali who may have been the first mansa to expand his reign to Walata, Timbuktu, and Gao. While Timbuktu and Gao are typically considered to have been added to the empire later on, Uli's accomplishments as a leader were truly impressive.

Gave Gold to the people.

The great comes from the small; truth and falsehood have both circles at the same breast.

On his travel he threw gold nuggets and other gold accesorries out to the poor people laying on the streets, while he rode upon his large caravan of camels.

The fall of the Mali Empire

~1468 CE

His impact on the economy

King Sunni Ali of the Songhai Empire conquers most of the Mali Empire. The Mali Empire has fallen. The surrounding Songhay Empire would conquer most of Mali by the late 15th century, leaving little remaining. By the 17th century, the Moroccan Empire took control of the area.

Due to the amount of gold he gave to the citizens, the overall value of gold in Egypt declined heavally for the next twelve years. "US-based technology company SmartAsset.com estimates that due to the depreciation of gold, Mansa Musa's pilgrimage led to about $1.5bn (£1.1bn) of economic losses across the Middle East." : https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/58480/was-mansa-musas-gold-as-serious-an-inflationary-problem-in-mamluk-egypt-as-is-p
