How Did The Sundiata Influenced The Empire Of Mali?

Two great leaders influenced the empire of Mali. Sundiata, the first emperor of Mali, was the one responsible for the unification of various clans and expansion of Mali. Sundiata’s childhood affected much of his deeds in the future. After defeating Sumanguru, the neighboring king who killed eleven of Sundiata’s brothers , Sundiata united the various clans that formed the Mali empire. ‘’Sundiata’’, an excerpt from West African Empires, claimed that, ‘’Under Sundiata’s leadership, the region was peaceful and the gold trade was plentiful.’’ Sundiata helped improved agriculture in Mali which helped many people because a lot of people make their living off farming. Another great leader that influenced the empire of Mali was Mansa Musa.
