Answer:

Its power came, above all, from trade. empire's total area included nearly all the land between the Sahara Desert and the coastal forests. The 1599 battle of Djenné marked the effective end of the great Mali Empire and set the stage for a plethora of smaller West African states to emerge.

Hope this helps! :>
