From 1000AD onwards, larger African kingdoms formed. This was partly because Africans saw the need to control land and resources as Arab and European traders came to barter for goods, slaves and gold. The boundaries of African empires changed over time as leaders rose and fell.

A large swathe of North Africa came under the control of Islamic states, while a powerful Christian kingdom formed around Ethiopia in the east.
