The basis of Ghana's wealth was the trade, mainly of gold and salt.

Explanation:

Ghana was a an empire in West Africa, or rather in the western Sahel. Even though it was not a very large empire, it was very wealthy, and it had very big power in the region. There are two main reasons as to why Ghana managed to became powerful and wealthy:

  • excellent location
  • trade

The excellent location, between North Africa and and West Africa, right on the trade routes between the two regions, contributed to Ghana having huge advantage to gain wealth. This was used, and Ghana developed the trade even more between the two regions, and it wisely used its goods.

The two most valuable and most demanded goods from Ghana were the salt and the gold. The salt was popular among all people, and the demand for it was constantly on the rise. The gold was highly valued by the people of the higher hierarchy, and they wanted to have as much as possible from it, and they paid a lot for it. These two, and several other goods, brought enormous wealth to Ghana.

<h2>Basis of Ghana’s wealth:</h2>

Ghana's wealth came from abundant gold which was mined during the 9th and 11th century. The country was so wealthy that dogs' collars were made of golden while horses slept on extravagant carpets and had silken rope halters.

The kings of Ghana became to be known as the wealthiest kings in the world due to display of wealth on animals. Ghana also attained its riches through trade and battering of goods. It bartered gold, ivory, and slaves for salt from Arabs. Other goods that were traded included books, swords, and horses from North Africans and European.

Escribe porque los paises que coloreaste en el mapa tienen mas impoaciones y exportaciones​
Marta_Voda [28]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, se te olvidó anexar el mapa. Sin el mapa, no sabes cuáles fueron los países que coloreaste.

Sin embargo, tratando de ayudarte en algo, hicimos una investigación para saber de qué tipo mapa se trata y los posibles países que pueden ser más importadores que exportadores.

De ahí si coloreaste países de Centro América, Sudamérica, Arabia, y África, entonces podemos decir que esos países son más importadores porque carecen de la infraestructura tecnológica, científica e industrial para procesar sus propios recursos naturales y materias primas.

Estos países exportan esos recursos naturales como frutas, verduras, semillas, y cosechas -incluyendo materia prima como petróleo- pero a su vez importan los productos de esa materia prima transformada.

Países de primer mundo tienen la infraestructura industrial para transformar esas materias primas en productos que usamos todos los días. Y por eso se tienen que importar.
