To find the answers to these questions, we can use a combination of historical knowledge and research.
The Kingdom of Benin ____.
To determine the correct option, we can research the history of the Kingdom of Benin. One option mentions the trading city of Tombouctou, which is not historically associated with the Kingdom of Benin. Another option refers to the Kingdom of Mali, which is a different kingdom altogether. The correct option is 4: Gained its wealth from trading ivory, palm oil, and pepper. This information can be found by researching the economic activities and trade routes of the Kingdom of Benin.
After the death of Mansa Musa, _____ became West Africa’s most powerful kingdom.
To find the answer, we can research the historical events and power dynamics of West Africa after the death of Mansa Musa. Option 1 mentions Dahomey, which is not historically associated with being the most powerful kingdom during that time. Option 2 mentions Ghana, but Ghana had significantly declined by the time of Mansa Musa's death. Option 3 mentions Songhai, which did become a powerful kingdom after Mansa Musa's death. Therefore, the correct answer is 3: Songhai. This can be found through research on the succession of power and political events in West Africa during that period.
Which is true about the African kingdoms of Ghana, Mali, and Songhai?
To determine the correct option, we need to research the economic activities and trade of these three kingdoms. Option 1 is incorrect because the Sahara Desert facilitated trade between these kingdoms and North Africa. Option 2 is incorrect because Mansa Musa was the ruler of Mali, not Ghana or Songhai. Option 3 is correct, as the economies of these kingdoms were indeed based on trading gold and salt. Option 4 is incorrect because ivory, palm oil, and pepper were not the main trade commodities of these kingdoms. Therefore, the correct answer is 3: Their economies were based on trading gold and salt.
The Mali Kingdom _____.
To find the answer, we can research the history of the Mali Kingdom. Option 1 is incorrect because the decline of Mali did not directly result from losing control of trade routes to Ghana. Option 2 is incorrect because ivory, palm oil, and pepper were not the primary sources of Mali's wealth. Option 3 is correct because Mali did become the strongest West African kingdom after the decline of Songhai. Option 4 is partly correct because Mali did establish new trading ties with Muslim states during Mansa Musa's reign, but this does not fully describe the kingdom's history. Therefore, the correct answer is 3: Became the strongest West African kingdom after the decline of Songhai. This information can be found through research on the history and power dynamics of the Mali Kingdom.
