Question 3 • 670201 World History S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which of these events occurred during the Ghana Empire?

Answer
A
Timbuktu was developed into a center of learning.
B
Islam was introduced into the West African region.
C
Moroccan invaders conquered the empire.
D
A large amount of technology was developed.

Explanation

Islam reached West Africa through Muslim traders and merchants while the Ghana Empire was flourishing, beginning around the 8th century. Timbuktu became a major center of learning later, especially under the Mali and Songhai empires, and Moroccan invaders conquered Songhai rather than Ghana. Thus, the event associated with Ghana is the introduction of Islam into the region.
