Ghana’s Golden Age began in the 900s and lasted for almost 800 years. During this period, Ghana was a powerful trading nation, derived wealth from its access to both the salt and gold trades, and its kingdom of almost 200 tribes maintained by a complex system of governance.


During the Golden Age, Ghana was one of the largest empires in West Africa. The kingdom was able to successfully gain control of important trade routes and military campaigns that secured Ghana's long-term independence.

The Almoravids, a Muslim Berber people intent on spreading their religion, invaded the kingdom and inflicted much destruction to its resources. In addition, environmental changes caused droughts that reduced Ghana’s resources and weakened its power. Lastly, the development of the trans-Saharan trade saw Niger-Congo states usurp Ghana’s power.The consequences of the decline of Ghana’s empire were far-reaching. In the immediate aftermath, many Ghanaian communities were displaced, dissolved or assimilated into neighboring Mali. Political, economic and cultural structures of Ghana, along with its powerful trading networks, largely dissipated. Finally, the kingdom’s influence was replaced by the spread of Islamic culture in what is now the western Sahel region of West Africa.]]> 2023-01-15 15:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mvgarridol/u5grl20mo0fzpy3s/wish/2444772448
