1. What did the Moroccans use that the Songhay didn’t have, which eventually helped end the Songhay Empire? Note: During the height of Africa’s empires, prior to Portuguese involvement in West Africa, slaves that Arabs bought and sold tended to be Caucasians; usually from the less developed and more Southerly Slavic regions (the word slave actually comes from ‘Slav’ as in these same ‘Slavic’ people of Eastern Europe). How might what the Moroccans had used against the Songhay have had a similar impact in turning the once powerful African peoples into slaves for the Portuguese?
2. Why were the Hindu kingdoms especially frightened of Babur’s rule? How did he rule over them? Do you believe that tolerance of other religions is Biblical, why or why not? (Make sure to back up your position with scripture!)
3. Analysis of art: Examine the Mughal artwork found in figures 11-20 and 11-22 in the Muslim Conquest attachment. Make three generalizations about this art, considering colour, realism, or any other factor you think is important.
