Rising to power in the first millennium, the Wagadu Empire (later named Ghana for the title of its ruler) formed a vast network of tributary states. Control of the Sahel’s trade routes fed wealth into bustling cities for centuries, but when the trade routes began to shift, Wagadu’s influence began to fade, and it found itself a (still well-respected) tributary to the rising Mali.
