2. The introduction to bananas encouraged a fresh migratory surge. The cultivations of bananas increased the food supplies available and allowed the Bantus to expand more rapidly. The arrival of camel quickened the pace of communication and transportation across the Sahara. Camels could travel long distance without having to drink water and thus made them useful beasts of burden in an arid region.…

By this point, the Europeans had different types of technologies that let them go pass the once opaque Sahara desert. Because of this advancement, a larger concentration of trade occurred. While Europe traded with Africa, Indian traders began to arrive to West Africa, as part of the Indian Ocean Trade Network. In sub-Saharan Africa, the system of the gold-salt trade developed. In this trade, Arab and Berber traders crossed the Sahara with caravans loaded with salt. They also carried cloth, weapons, and…
In efforts to efficiently organize Mali, he founded the country on the basis of productivity and richness in agriculture. Considering that location is important for structure, he established the Malian empire’s capital at Niani. Niani was located near the upper Niger river. The trans-Sahara caravan was a route from the Middle East & Far west, Europe, North Africa, to the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. That Sub-saharan region included but was not limited to: Mali, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin, Algeria, and Nigeria. The long distance trade was chiefly orchestrated by the Wangara people along the Niger River from Timbuktu to Senegal. It was mostly used by agriculturalist, herdsmen, hunter soldiers, and herdsmen. The trading of gold, salt, copper, and humans by African traders in exchange for cowry shells, cotton cloth, and Chinese porcelain from visitors was very prominent. Trader contacts increased by 800-1500 people due to a growing international trade network. As stated in the introduction paragraph, the trading of those goods, animals, and humans caused more people to migrate in and out of Africa. This was the main link that led to the spread of Islam. The most compelling evidence of this is the fact that the Arabian traders that settled along the coast of the Nile River and were one responsible factor of the spread of Islam by intermarrying within the local population. Similarly, the Muslim merchants could trade with people in many different areas because Arabia was at a crossroads location. Islam was also adopted by the kings and their royal families. Islam was mainly accepted by rulers because it promoted economic and social growth, which in turn made for a better equipped nation. Seeing that west Africa was made up of stateless societies, authority was also organized around ancestral reverence or other obligations. Because Sundiata was the son of a great…
The introduction to bananas encouraged a fresh migratory surge. The cultivations of bananas increased the food supplies available and allowed the Bantus to expand more rapidly, they provided a nutritious supplement to Bantu diets and enabled them to expand into heavily forested regions where yams and millet didn't grow well. The arrival of camel quickened the pace of communication and transportation across the Sahara. Camels could travel long distance without having to drink water and which made them useful beasts of burden in an arid region.…
Rivers are a vital resource ot the Middle East. The Nile River forms a narrow, fertile, strip that runs through the Sahara Desert.

Before the introduction of Islam to West Africa, their cultural religion dominated the region. Because Africa was so big and widely diverse, its religion was hard to categorize under one term. Their religion was based on “animism”, in which they believed everything had souls, and it was associated with nature and the workings of the world. It could be generally assumed that they had one creator god, and lesser gods under it. West Africa has prosperous trade; they traded with India very often through maritime trade and occasionally made dangerous attempts across the Sahara with camel caravans. They used India as a “middle-man” for trade to China, and they also had limited trade with the Islamic nations. Islamic traders were to the north of the Saharan Desert; but since it was rather dangerous to trade, they didn’t do trans-Saharan trade as often.…
Much like in Mesopotamia. Much like the mesopotamians, they used agricultural surplus to form states. The Nubians and the Egyptians had regular dealings with surrounding societies such as the Phoenicians, the Mesopotamians, and other Africans. From these they adopted forms of political and social organization. During 10,000 BCE the Sahara was a very grassy steppe with many lakes. These conditions allowed cattle and various grasses to flourish. AFricans sustained themselves on fish, wild grain and cattle. As groups began to form and nomads created permanent homes, the Sudanic people began organizing small monarchies run by the “divine”. With this development came religious beliefs including that of an afterlife. It was not long before the area became arid and dry and was no longer able to support the growing population. Sudanic cultivators moved further down the nile river as the climate got hotter and more arid. They developed an irrigation system when they moved into the floodlands where the soil was fertile enough to grow plants.…

People introduced camels to the desert in 200 a.d. Merchants primarily used them for trade to the Empires in the middle of the desert. They traded things such as gold, ivory, ostrich feathers, animal hides, and slaves. According to document 5 “The salt trade made the city prosperous; in Africa, salt ranked with gold and slaves in value. For Merchants to risk camels over hundreds of miles of burning sand, the profits must have been enormous” (22). This means that…
