Question

7 how did the ghanas in the sahel gain power in the ninth century? a by controlling the gold trade b by mining for gold c by domesticating camels d by waging wars on other kingdoms

Explanation:

The Ghana Empire (in the Sahel) rose to power in the 9th century primarily by controlling the trans-Saharan gold-salt trade routes. They levied taxes on gold and other goods passing through their territory, accumulating wealth and influence without directly mining most of the gold themselves. Domesticating camels was a prior innovation that enabled trade, and warfare was not their main path to power.
