Question

in what way did trans - saharan trade routes have the largest influence on african kingdoms? they isolated african kingdoms from external cultural influences. they focused solely on the trade of gold and salt, with no impact on knowledge exchange. they facilitated the exchange of ideas and technologies across regions. they were used only for military purposes in conquering new territory.

Explanation:

The Trans - Saharan trade routes were not for isolation (as they connected regions), not just for gold and salt trade (knowledge was also exchanged), and not only for military purposes. They did facilitate the exchange of ideas (like religious ideas, e.g., Islam) and technologies (such as new farming techniques, caravan organization methods) across different regions of Africa.

Answer:

They facilitated the exchange of ideas and technologies across regions.
