SWAHILI CITY-STATES By the eleventh and twelfth centuries, trade brought wealth to the Swahili city-states. Local chiefs were able to strengthen and increase the influence of their communities. Eventually, trade moved to more convenient locations, such as Lamu, Malindi, Mombasa, and more, which ended up developing into successful city states. Due to their accumulating wealth, city-states were able to undergo remarkable transformations. Buildings became larger and started to be built with sturdier material, such as stone instead of mud. Overall, city-states in Swahili were quite successful. AFRICAN ISLAM

It is a combination of both human choices to their environment and the environment itself that will either prevent or cause environmental collapse.

East Africa and the Indian Ocean Basin The trading patterns of East Africa in the Indian Ocean basin have undergone many changes between 1450-1750 that have shaped not only the communities in East Africa economically, but also culturally. Through the growing interactions with societies outside of Africa, these communities were able to evolve from relying on simplistic methods of trade to more complex methods that allowed for an increased exchange of cultures and religions. Overall, these changes are marked by a dramatic alteration concerning the structure of society, while the general dependence on trade remained an integral aspect of East African society.
