What role did the geography of the Sahel play in the rise of the medieval African kingdoms?

It provided a place for trade between the North and the South. Hope I helped. :)

The geography of the Sahel was vital for the rise of medieval African kingdoms as it provided strategic trade routes connecting North and West Africa, facilitated agricultural development along the Niger River, and allowed for cultural exchanges, particularly through the spread of Islam. This geographical advantage enabled kingdoms like Ghana, Mali, and Songhai to thrive economically and politically. Ultimately, the Sahel served as a nexus for trade and cultural interactions that shaped the region's history.
