What were two reasons why Songhai fell to the Moroccans?

1) Internal Conflicts: Songhai was embroiled in internal power struggles and conflicts, especially after the assassination of Askia Daoud. These conflicts weakened the empire and made it susceptible to external threats.

2) Moroccan Military Superiority: The Moroccan army, led by Sultan Ahmed al-Mansur Saadi, possessed advanced weaponry, including cannons and firearms. These technological advantages allowed them to overwhelm Songhai's forces in battle.
