Mali Empire (10 feb 1235 año – 10 feb 1490 año)
Descripción:
Mali became an important empire after 1235 when Sundjata organized Malinke resistance against a branch of the southern Soninke. Food crops were grown on the level areas by the river, not only for local people but for those living in cities farther north on the Niger River and in oasis towns along the trade routes across the desert. Thus the Niger River enabled the kingdom of Mali to develop a far more stable economy.
