The event that marked the final stage in the collapse of the Songhai empire was an invasion from Morocco.

The Songhai Empire was a prominent empire from 1464 to 1591. They lived in Western Africa, south the Sahara Desert. Its capital city was Gao, located on what today is Mali. In the mid-1500s, the empire started to weaken due to internal conflicts that derived in a civil war. But in 1591, the empire was invaded by the Moroccan troops and captured the capital city of Gao and another important one, Timbuktu.
