Question

The abbasid dynasty was connected to west africa through trade routes true or false

Answer 1

True. The Abbasid dynasty, which ruled from 750 to 1258, was connected to West Africa through various trade routes. The trans-Saharan trade routes facilitated the exchange of goods, including gold, salt, and textiles, and played a significant role in the interactions between the Islamic world and West Africa. The spread of Islam and cultural exchange were also significant aspects of this connection.
