In this series we trace the rise and fall of the Mali Empire. Part 1 (https://youtu.be/zQzjzVxKk74) covered the broad history of the region and the geopolitical events which set the stage for Sundiata’s revolt against the Sosso Empire. In Part 2 we follow this Mankinka prince’s campaigns which see him found the Mali Empire. We then cover the wars of conquest which led to the rise of this new kingdom to unprecedented heights.

Its been awesome getting to explore the unsung history of the Mali Empire. Always been annoyed by how we get presented with it at its peak without the story of the preceding rise. Go to https://buyraycon.com/invicta to get up to 30% off sitewide! Brought to you by Raycon.
Nice to see you covering African Imperialism and Colonialism.
It is a WAR in the comment section I love it!!!!
Lol. Okay.
Why do most of these drawings look like arabs or dark skin whites? This is how you lie about history, most of this animation dont even look like black africans, in a video about black africans, pathetic
Africa is so big you have small tribal societies and massive african states with developed systems and philosophies, i love Africa and its people especially Ethiopia, i stand by my Christian brothers.
Very informative ❤❤
I found through my paternal linage I’m
Connected to the Mandinka Fulani Wolof and Teqmesh people of Mali 🇲🇱. Happy to know I’m connected to these empires before the American slave trade interrupted that. I’m currently writing a comic book inspired by aspects of these empires and people.
Good video.
Que útil resulta a los que nos gusta la historia y no hablamos ingles que YouTube autotraduzca videos en ingles. Gran video.
good
great to see some history outside of the scope of europe. what a pitty that there are not so many records from this period and location
Thanks for the video. Whant more videos about history of that region
We wuz slave owners.
But wait, this must be a lie! Certainly the stories of a perfect peaceful Africa , only ruined by by “ Colonialism” , must be the truth. Right?
The organizational structure appears more or less similar to that of William the Conqueror. With the exception that WTC abolished Slavery and instituted serfdom.

African historical content: ✅
Racist incel comments: ✅
You ever notice you don't see such disruptive behavior leveled against European content. Just African. Why is that?
Fantastic video man, keep up the work!
I love this series! It`s like you are thinking you know about history, but then someone comes around and opens a chapter about history you know so little about. I always wanted to know more about this Awesome History of precolonial Afrika.
Mansa Musa is pretty much the only medieval West African ruler I knew of before this. Thank you for this video! I look forward to future content on the Mali Empire and other African historical states!
God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ 🙂
