5 0

Chicago is a midwestern city that experienced a major fire during the late 1800s.

The Great Chicago Fire was a blaze that raged in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States, between October 8 and 10, 1871. Over 17,000 buildings and about 3.3 square miles of the city were destroyed by the fire, which also left over 300 people dead and more than 100,000 people homeless.

For many years, a goat that was once ejected from Wrigley Field was to blame for the Cubs' inability to go to the World Series. And for well over a century, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was started by a cow owned by Mrs. O'Leary.

The fire raged into the following day before ultimately being brought under control on October 10, when rain provided firefighting efforts a much-needed assist. An estimated 300 persons perished in the Great Chicago Fire, along with 100,000 more.

What important natural resource did the Songhai Empire control?
sineoko [7]

The Songhai Empire controlled the production and supply of Salt. This was a very important commodity which was known as white gold at the time.


At its peak the Songhai Empire was the largest and richest Empire in Africa and one of the most powerful in all of the Muslim world.


The cities of Timbuktu and Djenné became importing trading centers and remained one of the most important cities in Africa until the empire's demise.


Apart from salt, the empire grew rich due to its control over vast supplies of Gold, slaves, kola nuts, leather, and dates.



Eventually, the huge riches of the Empire attracted attention from other leaders of the region. In the last 20 years, the kings of Songhai were in constant feud with multinational armies which took a political and economic toll on the Empire.
