View through CrossRef
AbstractThe Mossi became a West African power that sought to control the economically rich Niger bend when seven states emerged as Malian power declined in the 15th century. The Mossi relied on a centralized administrative system and political unity. The continuity of the Mossi states was exemplified by the fact that some of the rulers that the French defeated were the descendants of those who had founded the states, centuries earlier.
