I think it would have caused them to not have some of the things they had. By that I mean he had made other countries aware Africa was actually there. That led to him giving out gold making Africa look rich. if he hadnt noone would know they existed so no trade.

I agree Tyler! This is a tough question because there are so man different out comes that could have happened. Maybe other kings would have made the same journey or other conquers might have come up and took control of the trade routes. What I do know is that it would have taken longer for people to learn about the riches of Africa & maybe the religion of Islam would not have spread as rapidly.

I think if Mansa Musa didn't take his pilgrimage to Mecca other countries wouldn't have known about all the wealth in Africa. West Africa wouldn't be as known and they wouldn't have been as developed as other countries and would be taken out very easily. So I do think it would have changed West African history... A LOT.

I agree with you Collin because many other civilizations would not know about the wealth in West Africa. They also would not have as many trade routes. So, I do not think they would be as wealthy too.

I agree with you because other countries wouldn't know the wealth of Africa. Also I think someone else would of done the same thing what Mansa Musa have done. Also it would of changed West Africa history.

If Mansa Musa did not go on the pilgrimage to Mecca no one would of known of the African empires. They also would not have as many trade routes which means they would not have as many valuable resources. When he went to Mecca he also shared that Mali was very wealthy and no one would of known that if he did not go on the pilgrimage. So, the West African empires would change a lot

I think if Mansa Musa didn't take the pilgrimage to Mecca no one wouldn't know the wealth of Africa. Also Africa wouldn't be trading to much. I think if Mansa Musa dident take the pilgrimage to Mecca someone else would of done it.

I think that if Mansa Musa didn't take his pilgrimage to mecca, then a lot of different things would happen. People would not have know about of of Africa's wealth. Africa would not have developed like it did in the past.

I agree with you. Other countries wouldn't even know the wealth and power of Africa. Africa definitely wouldn't have developed much.

I think if he did not migrate it could have ended up with out as many advancements and they would have when they migrated. For exsample if they did not migrate they would not have learned about other cultures and would fall behind in advancements and inevtions that would help them. So they would not of had much of a exsiting history so it was better they migrated

The trade wouldn't be as flourished and it wouldn't have made a mark on history. The empire would've fallen a lot sooner if he hadn't. It made alot different in history if he had not taken the pilgrimage

The trade definitely would have been different. No one would have known they existed, so trade would be way less common.

I think if Mansa Musa didn't take pilgrimage to Mecca other countries wouldn't have known how wealthy Africa was. Then Africa would have not gotten all the things they needed or wanted through trade. If Africa did not get any trade they wouldn't have been wealthy.

There would have been a lot of changes. First, they wouldn't have been discovered for a while. Next they wouldn't have traded a lot. That's almost everything they are known for, without any of that stuff West Africa would have been completely different, and wouldn't have the same history.

I think the trade would not be that good and it probably would start to rob very quickly and there would be barley any freedom

If Mansa Munsa didn't go on the pilgrimage, I think it would of changed history a lot. Not a lot of people would of known that West Africa was wealthy. If people did not know this they wouldn't of have traded that much and they wouldn't get a lot of salt.

I agree with you brisa because if they did not know about west Africa there would be no such thing as the silent trade and all the pore people that got gold would not of and people not be that easy to get salt because they do not have gold
