The Songhai Empire was a great trading state of West Africa that flourished from the 15th to the 16th century. It was centered on the middle reaches of the Niger River in what is now central Mali and eventually extending west to the Atlantic coast and east into Niger and Nigeria. It replaced the Mali Empire as the most important state in West Africa. The Songhai people broke away from Mali control after Mansa Musa's death. The empire was ruled by the Sonni dynasty (c. 1464–1493), but it was later replaced by the Askiya dynasty (1493–1591). At its peak, it was one of the largest states in African history, with several thousand cultures under its control. Conquest, centralization, and standardization were the most ambitious and far-reaching in sub-Saharan history until the colonization of the continent by Europeans.
