. European Exploration in West Africa Spain, England, and France were not the only European countries interested in claiming new territories and great riches. Portugal also made voyages of discovery in West Africa. Let’s learn about the regions explored by Portugal. Three West African empires, one after another, dominated West Africa from 300 to 1600 A.D. These three empires were Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. Located in the western region of Africa, south of the Sahara Desert, near the Niger River, Ghana, Mali, and Songhai were surrounded by gold and salt mines. As a result, they became powerful by controlling trade in West Africa. Trading was an important part of life in Africa. African empires traded with each other to meet their needs. One of their greatest needs was salt. During the time of the explorers, salt was needed to flavor and preserve food. Because there was no refrigeration, many foods like meats quickly spoiled. Instead of trying to keep these foods cool, people covered them with salt. The salt dried out the food and allowed it to be stored for a while before being eaten. This made salt very valuable. It was so valuable that other African kingdoms were willing to trade gold for it! The great empires of West Africa traded with European nations and other African kingdoms. The large supplies of gold and salt began to cause European countries like Portugal to become more and more interested in the coast of West Africa. The Portuguese carried goods from Europe to West African empires where they traded metals, cloth, and other manufactured goods for gold. As a result, African people and African goods began to play an important role in increasing European interest in world resources
