Question

Explain ONE way in which a resource from Mali was used in Sub-Saharan trade during the period c. 1200-c. 1450

Answer 1

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1200 to 1450, Mali and Ghana were known to have an abundance of Gold deposits.

However, during this period particularly under the reign of Mansa Musa, the Mali empire traded Gold for Salt with the Berbers or Arabs who brought salts from the northern part of Africa which are closer to the Mediterranean sea, a place where salt is easily found.

Mali covers an area known as sub-Saharan due to its geographical features, thereby the name sub-Saharan trades.
