However, unlike the Kanuri, no ruler among these states ever became powerful enough to impose his will over the others. Although the Hausa had common languages, culture, and Islamic religion, they had no common king. Kano, the most powerful of these states, controlled much of the Hausa land in the 16th and 17th Centuries, but conflicts with the surrounding states ended this dominance. Because of these conflicts, the Fulanis, led by Usman Dan Fodio in 1804, successfully challenged the Hausa States and set up the Hausa-Fulani Caliphate with headquarters in Sokoto, commanding a broad area from Katsina in the far north to Ilorin, across the River Niger.]]> 2018-11-20 03:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/fariba_al_hassan/t2z23yaljcbb/wish/306189333 fariba_al_hassan https://padlet.com/fariba_al_hassan/t2z23yaljcbb/wish/306189515 2018-11-20 03:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fariba_al_hassan/t2z23yaljcbb/wish/306189515 fariba_al_hassan https://padlet.com/fariba_al_hassan/t2z23yaljcbb/wish/306189715 Amina was always waging one battle or another.
