	Fulani Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fulani Empire was one of the most powerful states in sub-Saharan Africa in the years prior to European colonization.
		The Fulani were mostly Muslims, as were the rulers of most of the states in the region.
		Since Fulani strength was centered on powerful cavalry they could not expand very far southwards, however, as the horses were ineffective in the forests of the region and could not withstand the diseases of those latitudes.

		Long before the arrival of French influence and control in the area, Niger was an important economic crossroads, and the empires of Songhai Empire, Mali Empire, Gao, and Kanem-Bornu, as well as a number of Hausa states, claimed control over portions of the area.
		During recent centuries, the nomadic Tuareg formed large confederations, pushed southward, and, siding with various Hausa states, clashed with the Fulani Empire of Sokoto, which had gained control of much of the Hausa territory in the late 18th century.
		In the 19th century, contact with the West began when the first European explorers--notably Mungo Park (British) and Heinrich Barth (German)--explored the area searching for the mouth of the Niger River.
