#1) In countries like Ghana (around 300-1200 AD), what gave them the financial strength to rise to power?
Answer: What gave them the financial strength to rise to power was the use of trade of gold and salt. Mainly because they taxed this exchange within its borders. They also increased their contact and international network. Also the cultural influence of Islam and its own internal civilization developments produced great accomplishments.
I hope it helps, Regards.
