Kingdom of Benin
Kingdom of Ghana
Kingdom of Songhai
please I really need my answer checked:(
None of the answer choices is right. The 19th century started in 1800. Check with your teacher or your text.

Mali - to 1670
Benin - to 1897
Ghana - to 13th century
Songhai - to 1591
Yes, I think it was Muslim long before 1800 and Morocco was the major power around there by then.
As Ms. Sue points out, the Kingdom of Benin finally was defeated when the British burned the City of Benin in 1897, incorporating what was left of a once-mighty empire into British Nigeria. That was certainly in the 19th century, but it had been powerful for about 600 years before that, waxing and waning in power, in competition with other kingdoms. So, I agree that the question is confusing.
