Answer 2

The most accurate description of Songhai under Askia Muhammad was a powerful trading empire that stretched from the Atlantic Ocean across much of West Africa along the Niger River. In the late 15th century Askia Muhammad became the emperor, military commander, and political reformer of the Songhai Empire. He was a devout Muslim where under his rule, Islam became an essential part of the empire. He was able to conquer much of the surrounding lands and was able to take control of the gold and salt trade from the Mali Empire. At its peak, the Songhai empire stretched over 1,000 miles from the current modern day country of Niger to the Atlantic Ocean.
