AP World History: Modern
Unit 2 – Networks of Exchange (1200-1450)
Topic 2.4
How did political instability within Africa during the Middle Ages affect trans-Saharan trade?
It had little effect since traders relied more on their personal networks than on state stability.
It boosted trading as regional leaders competed for control over trade products.
It disrupted consistent trading activities along these routes due to security concerns.
It led to an increase in trade as competing states sought alliances through commerce.
