Which was an unintended result of Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca?

Answer
A
Middle Eastern nations benefited from the wealth Musa brought with him.
B
Musa successfully brought Islam to European and Middle Eastern nations.
C
Europeans developed an increased desire to explore African wealth.
D
Because he was a powerful figure, Musa inspired others to make a pilgrimage.

Explanation

Musa’s pilgrimage displayed the immense wealth of the Mali Empire, especially through the large quantities of gold he distributed along the way. News of this wealth spread beyond Africa and contributed to Europeans’ interest in exploring and seeking African riches. The other choices describe intended religious influence or benefits to people Musa encountered, rather than the unintended European interest his journey helped spark.
