Challenge: Have the Mali Empire dominate the world

[acgoldis]

With a POD no later than 1200, have the Empire of Mali conquer the following amounts of territory.

LEVEL 1: All of Africa from the Sahara south.
LEVEL 2: All of Africa.
LEVEL 3: Africa and part of Europe. The Black Death or some other plague could come in handy.
LEVEL 4: Africa and part of Europe, and at least a 13-colonies sized slice of the New World.
LEVEL 5: Africa and all of Europe, and at least a 13-colonies sized slice of the New World.

Bonus points if Mali institutes the Triangular Slave Trade...and the slaves are Caucasian.

Here's a try:
1310 Abu Bakr II actually does send an expidition across the atlantic
1313 A permanent settlement is established
1316 The Amazon is discovered
1320 Abu Bakr abdicates to become a full-time explorer! (OTL legends claim he did)
1400 Sizeble mali colonies established along the brazilian northern and eastern coast. The interior largely untouched except for along rivers.
1437 An alliance is signed with the Iberian muslims, a large Malian navvy with soldiers and gold sail north. The christian advances in iberia are stopped
1454 The emir of Granda becomes the offical vassal of Mali
1467 Andalusian Muslims launch an expedition to the Caribean, some islands is colonized but it remains mostly untouched
1493 Morocco is conquered and the sea route to India found, brings great wealth
1516 A large expedition of mostly Andalusians conquer the Incas
1587 The Mali Empire centralizes, it now stretches from the Sahel to Granada and from Lake Chad to the Andes...
1600's Mali aristocrats establish colonies in the carribean and the south of OTL US. They use slave labour mostly bought from barbary pirates (christians). Slavery in brazil have been going on or quite some time using africans from tribal areas and enemy kingdoms
1700's large European colonies are built in North America, some mali colonies invaded. The sea route to India discovered by Europeans. The Muslim domination of the Oceans challanged

Good start! Can you get them into Europe? If they try to get into Europe after the Black Death has ravaged the continent they might have a chance.

Hmm, i managed to give them Granada in southern Spain, but the problem is there's just not enough time for Mali to conquer the world...
Without going ASB, that is. I don't think the Plague would do it either, the africans would die as easily as the europeans...
