Answer (2)
D ownfall of Mali Empire : Weakened by attacks and internal rewbellion. The Mali lost it's hold on the Gold and Salt trade. The Songhai empire was then able to grow in power and take previously held Mali territories. ** Downfall of Songhai Empire**: The moroccan armies invaded songhai, which led the fall of songhai empire. D ownfall of Ghana Empire :In the 11th century, when the Almoravids, a militant confederation of Muslims, began to attack the empire and even conquered it for a time. Though their grip on power did not last long, the chaos they brought to the region destabilized trade, hurting the empire's sources of income.****
The Ghana, Mali, and Songhai empires fell due to a combination of external attacks, internal strife, and shifts in trade dynamics. The Almoravids weakened Ghana, internal conflicts led to Mali's decline, and the Moroccan invasion ultimately ended Songhai's dominance. Together, these factors contributed to their downfall over several centuries.
