Senegal has been inhabited since ancient times. In the 13th & 14th centuries the Manindingo & Jolof empires dominated that African region. In the 15th century Portuguese explorers & traders arrived. The British, Dutch & French would compete with the Portuguese for control of Senegal. The French set up a trading post in Saint-Louis in 1659 & in the 19th century initiated a series of campaigns which brought the entire nation under their control. In 1920 Senegal became a French colony. [BM] {UA}
