Aksum not only had a wealthy kingdom, but also a powerful army. The kingdom reached its height of power under the rule of King Ezana (320 AD), under his rule Askum was able to defeat the rival trading kingdom of Kush. As a result, Askum controlled the trade region in the east. At the kingdom's height, it stretched as far as northern Sudan, most of Eritrea, Yemen, and across the Red Sea to part of southern Saudi Arabia.
Aksum's political structure was based on a system similar to feudalism. The king's local rulers payed tribute to own the neighboring land.
