(due tomorrow) what led to the downfall of the empire of ghana?

1. Arab & Berber Aggression:  Continuous raids by Semitic nomads of the desert, mostly Berbers and Arabs.  These generally included Black Africans, Afro-Berbers and Afro-Arabs who had converted to Islam.

2. Dissatisfaction with the Government: Dissatisfaction with the central government that tended progressively to undermine the traditional constitutions of both the parent-nuclear state and the formerly independent states which now made up the empire.

3. Disunity: The desire for independence on the part of member states, or more security in an alliance with some other seemingly rising power, such as Mali.

4. Hard Times: Drought leading to famine was becoming more frequent, almost permanent condition. Farming, the occupation of the masses, was becoming too difficult to support life.

5. Decline of Trade: Stepped-up Arab-Berber raids on caravan trails, the life-line of the empire, lead to a decline in trade.

6. The Gold Mines: Failure to capture the Wangara gold mines, leaving the state in a precarious position of a dependent middleman.

7. Civil strife over succession: The ruling class had become Muslims, introducing revolutionary changes in traditional constitutional practices

8. Weak leaders on both local and national levels.

9. Religious Conflicts: The African Muslim ruling class forcing Islam on the African masses lead to conflicts and people fleeing the country.

10. Nature: The increasing deforestation, erosion, reduced rainfall and uninhibited southward movement of the Sahara lead to the death of the soil.

first of all, it's important to say that the book we shall not be moved, written by joan dash, is about the first strike of women in the united states in the year 1909. the best historical detail to clarify the reader's undertanding is the phrase "general strike". this strike involved women working at a garment factory who decided to protest   long working hours, low wages and brutal conditions. this strike became known as "the new york shirtwaist strike" or "the uprising of the 20,000". the strike mostly involved jewish women who did not speak english or who had a basic knowledge of the english language. finally, the strike went on from november 1909 until february 1910.

sir frederic attributed inaccuracies to schemas. memory reconstruction is one part actual events and one part personal schema, which can result in inaccuracies when memories are reconstructed.
