NOTE
THE HAUSA STATES TO 1800.
Phases of Hausa States evolution to Statehood.
The Hausa States, located in present-day Nigeria, were a collection of city-states known for their trade and Islamic culture. The Hausa states were divided into two groups: the Hausa Bakwai, or the seven true Hausa states, and the Banza Bakwai, or the seven ilegitimate states. The Hausa Bakwai consisted of Biram, Daura, Gobir, Kano, Katsina, Rano, and Zaria. The Banza Bakwai consisted of Zamfara, Kebbi, Yauri, Gwari, Nupe, Kororofa, and Yoruba.
The Hausa states emerged between the 10th and 14th centuries, and were influenced by the spread of Islam. The Hausa states developed a thriving trade network, connecting the Sahara Desert with the Niger River and the Atlantic coast. The Hausa states were often involved in wars and alliances with each other, as well as with external powers, such as Songhai, Bornu, Fulani, and the British. The Hausa states were eventually conquered by the Fulani in the early 19th century, and became part of the Sokoto Caiphate. Later, they were colonized by the British, who merged them with Bornu form the Northern Region of Nigeria. The Hausa people trace their origins to the 7th century, when they founded city states in the Hausa nation.
These city-states, known as the Hausa Bakwai (seven true Hausa states) and the Banza Bakwai (seven illegitimate states), developed into powerful kingdoms that traded and competed with each other, as well as with neighboring empires such as Mali, Songhai, Bornu, and Kanem. The states were organized into monarchies with emirs ruling over them, and they played a significant role in spreading Islam across West Africa. However, by 1800, they faced internal conflicts and external pressures from the Fulani Jihad led by Usman dan Fodio, which eventually led to the establishment of the Sokoto Caliphate in 1804.
Economic activities of the Hausa States like Kano and Katsina
The main economic activities of the Hausa States, particularly in cities like Kano and Katsina, included agriculture (farming of crops like millet, sorghum, and rice), trade (along trans-Saharan routes), and craft production (such as weaving, leatherworking, and metalworking).
