The correct answer is "Europe struggled to recover from a lost generation."
After World War I, the Germany economy was in ruins. This is because they were held responsible for the beginning of the war and were forced to pay reparations (as decided in the Treaty of Versailles).
On the other end of the world, the US had a booming economy right after World War I. The 1920's in the US was an era of economic prosperity in which individuals had more disposable income to buy goods/materials.
France and Great Britain still remain allies after this war, as they both have a common goal of recovering from the war and ensuring Germany does not gain significant political power.
This leaves the first statement. The "Lost Generation" is a phrase used to display how a significant amount of the population was lost during the war due to the high number of deaths in World War I.

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.
