Answer:
It is hard to give only one cause to such a big historical event. The decay of empires can be a long duration event with a dozen of causes. However in this case it is safe to say that this set of events has one common fundamental cause: transatlantic slave trade.
Explanation:
The transatlantic slave trade was a long duration event that completely changed internal dynamics of African empires. Although to say that it destroyed Africa's cultural achievements is too much, it certainly impacted the entire continent.
Africa had internal slave trade since long time before the 14th century. This trade however was small and connected with demands internal to states in the continent. When the atlantic trade started and became routine it was big business, the bigger of the modern era: it was a world trade that was responsible for much of the growing of many entire nations.
The last country to abolish slavery was Brazil in 1888. Transatlantic slave trade started in the 1400s with technological developments that improved navegation and ended in mid 1800s.

Battle for Yorktown
Explanation:
- British general Cornwallis found himself with his army in Yorktown in 1781, where he rested and rebuilt supplies.
- A significant force under arms had been fighting and dominating the American South for months, so it needed a break.
- There, unexpectedly from land and sea, they were besieged by the Americans and their allies by the French and badly defeated. After this battle, British King George began negotiations with the Americans, which eventually resulted in the recognition of United States independence
.
- If US forces had not won the revolutionary battle of Yorktown, the United States probably would not have existed today. It was a decisive victory for the combined forces of the Americans led by George Washington and the French led by the Earl of Rochambeau over the British army.
- After months of the siege of Yorktown, General Lord Cornwallis surrendered his 8,000 men and in a few weeks America fully declared its independence from the British Empire.
