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.

Ymorist [56]

Answer: A) World leaders could not decide weather to support globalization

Explanation: I would not say "countries" but "regimes" were not able to fully accept idea of human rights. after the WW I there was an ideological conflict which did not follow intellectual or rational channel but became rapidly manifested by means of weapons. First this conflict appeared within states themselves .....1) Spain (conservatives vs liberals/communists/republicans) and similarly Portugal .....in both countries liberal republics were not very successful, 2) Germany (Weimar Republic went into being but had many ennemies), 3) Italy, 4) central-european elites felt humiliated by the Versailles treaty (Hungary and Austria). In all these cases old elites wanted to keep their privileged positions and preferred some sort of dictatureships.

Hope this helps! And please give me brainliest.
