4. Choose an acceptable thesis. Sample thesis options:
a. “Trans-Saharan trade networks had a minimal effect on the formation of new states in West Africa between 1200 and 1450 CE. By 1200, and before large-scale trade occurred across the Sahara, many states had already formed in the region. In addition, complex societies caused an increased need for trade and led to the development of trade networks in West Africa.”

As trade networks expanded across the Sahara, traders shared important goods such as salt, gold, and copper. The trade networks involved well-known cities in West Africa, such as Timbuktu.”

previously, from august to december, all the individual republics, including russia itself, had either seceded from the union or at the very least denounced the treaty on the creation of the ussr. the week before formal dissolution, 11 republics signed the alma-ata protocol formally establishing the cis and declaring that the ussr had ceased to exist.[3][4] both the revolutions of 1989 and the dissolution of the ussr also marked the end of the cold war.
