Question

In about 100 to 150 words, write a short paragraph explaining the influence of the Arabian civilization on Africa. Use information from the lesson as evidence to support your answer.

Answer 1

The Arabs and their religion of Islam had a great impact on Africa. By the eighth century, the entire northern coast of Africa was under Arab rule. As a result, the civilizations of modern-day nations such as Egypt, Libya, and Morocco adopted an Arab identity. The Arab demand for gold was a driving force in the development and expansion of West African kingdoms. The kingdoms gained tremendous wealth by selling gold to the Arabs. The Arab slave trade also had a deep impact on Africa. Millions of Africans were displaced from their homes and sold into slavery in the Islamic empire.

The political and economic reasons that brought Arabs close to North Africans left a deep impression on both the cultures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Arab culture was a mixture of different communities ranging from the 7th to 13th centuries witnessing rapid Islamic expansion that consolidated its empire including the people of Spain and North Africa. Several coalitions were formed, trade routes developed and people and land conscripted into a strong force. Islam came to Africa through traders from Arabia who made their way all-around the Red Sea.
