The Bantu migration significantly changed Africa’s cultural landscape primarily because the Bantu brought knowledge of iron tools and weapons. This technological advancement allowed for improved agricultural practices and enhanced conflict capabilities, which, in turn, facilitated the expansion of Bantu-speaking peoples across the continent. Additionally, the migration led to the blending of languages and cultures, as the Bantu adopted and influenced local customs and tongues where they settled.
