Historie

If you want to discover the captivating history of West Africa, then pay attention...

Beginning in prehistoric times, West Africa has always been an incredible region. Early nomadic tribes settled into some of the earliest communities on Earth and learned how to work with metal. Various West African tribes then became adept at working with metal and were some of the most skilled artisans in the world.

As civilizations developed in West Africa, nomadic tribes turned into urban societies that built kingdoms. Eventually, some of the greatest leaders in the world created mighty West African empires. Men like Sundiata Keita, Muhammad I Askia, Mansa Musa I, and others were brilliant leaders who built some of the richest empires in the world.

As the empires collapsed, the age of the transatlantic slave trade began. Over hundreds of years, West Africa was destabilized by slavery and colonialization. However, after World War II, a surge of independence began.

This audiobook covers some of the most important events in West Africa’s history and takes you on several unmissable journeys through time.

Journey through West Africa’s dynamic history and learn about the following:

• What evidence exists of prehistoric West African communities? • The settlements at Dhar Tichitt and its surrounds • What made the city of Ile-Ife significant? • The tumultuous rise and fall of the great West African empires • Was Mansa Musa I the richest king in the world? • The impactful legacy of the Songhai Empire • What impact did the transatlantic slave trade have on West Africa? • The effect of European colonialization on West Africa and how the region still feels it today • The influential West African leaders who led their countries to freedom
