I think the most successful kingdom is the kingdom of Kilwa. I think Kilwa is the most successful because they controlled the Indian Ocean trade route. This made them accomplished traders. They traded gold, ivory, jewerly, etc. That is why I think Kilwa is the most successful.

I agree. Kilwa was probably the most successful kingdom because of trade and trade control. Also with material such as gold and ivory, other countries longed for these things. This made Kilwa successful.

I have to disagree with Zach. I think Kilwa was the most successful kingdom. I think Kilwa because they controlled the Indian Ocean trade. They thrived in trade and got all the riches and goods that they wanted. Also, in Ibn Battuta's diary, he stated that Kilwa was a very pretty and well consructed kingdom.

I think the best of the three African kingdoms was Great Zimbabwe. I think this because, they made their walls. The walls weren't for protection, but to show how wealthy and powerful the king was. These walls are still up today.

I disagree with you Izzy because Great Zimbabwe only had the wall and that was the only good thing about they didn't have anything they were good at.

I disagree with you Izzy for many reasons.One of the reasons is because although they had these big stone walls they were not helping anything like you said they are only for wealth.I get the part about they were strong walls because they are still up today but back then they didn't really do anything but show the king's wealth and power.I think Kilwa was the most successful kingdom because they have a well constructed place.Also they controlled the Indian Ocean trade and got lots of the goods and riches they needed and wanted.

I believe that Kilwa was the most successful. I believe this because, Kilwa gained control over the Indian Ocean trade routes. Since Kilwa has control over the Indian Ocean trade routes, they can tax people coming in to trade just like how Ghana did (not saying that Kilwa really did tax people). The people in Kilwa was also received things like gold, ivory, and coconuts etc. Another thing that made Kilwa successful, is building well constructed buildings. Some of the things that were built in Kilwa were Mosque that were made of strong constructed wood. The town of Kilwa was also constructed in a good manner. Ibn Battuta even said in one of his diary entries that the town of Kilwa was the most beautiful town (I don't remember the rest). I believe that the main part that made Kilwa successful was Swahili. I believe that it was amazing that two cultures were combined. Since Swahili was made, people in Kilwa were able to get their goods like jewelry and gold. Kilwa thrived because of all the things that were created or given. This is why I believe that Kilwa was the most successful.

I think that Kilwa was the most successful kingdom. They were because they had control of the Indian Ocean trade routes, which led them into trading gold, ivory, coconuts, and jewelry. Another thing is they developed Swahili, a mixture of African and Arab customs.

I think that Kilwa was the most successful. Not only because they controlled Indian ocean trade, but how they were able to create Swahili. Swahili is the mixed cultures of Arabia and Africa. This made communicating easier. The Swahili culture caused astonishing art and new religious culture.

My opinion is that Kilwa is the most successful kingdom in Africa. They controlled the Indian Ocean Trade. By doing so, they got other goods that other kingdoms could not get. Their buildings were also nice according to Ibn Batuta. This is why I think the kingdom of Kilwa was the most successful kingdom.

I think that Kilwa was the most successful. It flourished in trade because it controlled the Indian trade route. It was also able to create the Swahili culture which is a mixed culture of African and Arab cultures. This made communication a lot easier. That is way I think Kilwa is the most successful.
