Slavery and royal rivalries. In the following decades, the Kingdom of Kongo became a major source of slaves for Portuguese traders and other European powers. ... A common characteristic of political life in the kingdom of Kongo was fierce competition over succession to the throne.


The Kongo king played a primary role in the highly centralized political and social structures. He retained the right to appoint and remove officials, but his authority was checked by the council of elders and the traditional rights of clan chiefs.

The Kongo king played a primary role in the highly centralized political and social structures. He retained the right to appoint and remove officials, but his authority was checked by the council of elders and the traditional rights of clan chiefs. After the rule of Affonso I (1506 to about 1545), only his descendants could claim succession to the throne. Disputes between claimants to the throne were common. The position usually fell to the individual who gained the support of the royal court and the approval of the electoral college, whose responsibility it was to designate the new king.

Why did Islam spread quickly following Mohammed‘s death
Rzqust [24]

Answer:  I found this article online so you probably have to tweak a few things to not get plagiarized by your teacher but here you go. I just put the useful info here but you could definitely cut some things out also. Websites url is : https://www.studentsofhistory.com/the-growth-pread-of-islam

The period following Muhammad’s death is known as the Rashidun Caliphate that lasted from 610-750. During this empire a Muslim administration and government was established and ruled the Middle East. The Caliphate was governed by The Righteous Caliphs, or spiritual leaders. By 644, these four leaders helped Islam spread and grow far and beyond the Middle East through conquests of major cities like Baghdad, Jerusalem, and Alexandria. North and Western parts of Africa were also conquered effectively taking control over much of the  Byzantine and Persian territory. The third Caliph Uthman created a version of the Quran that became standardized and widely used throughout the Islamic world in newly established schools that taught the Arabic language and Islamic studies. This was also a period in which hundreds of mosques were built throughout the empire.  

After the death of the last caliph in 661, the Umayyad Caliphate took control of the empire and ruled until 750. Historians regard this caliphate as the most powerful and expansive of the caliphs. The Umayyad Caliphate grew the Islamic Empire to its peak and expanded its control from the Middle East to parts of Asia, India, Northern Africa and parts of Europe.
