Enemy nations using more sophisticated warfare to overpower the empire.
Example: the Songhai Empire was defeated in 1591 when Moroccan forces, equipped with firearms and cannons, routed Songhai armies (at Tondibi). Combined with internal strife and changing trade routes (Atlantic trade), this military-technological gap helped bring an end to the great West African empires.
