It borders Senegal to its north and Guinea to its southeast. Guinea-Bissau was once part of the kingdom of Kaabu, as well as part of the Mali Empire.

The Bissagos, islands off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, were officially conquered in 1936, ens ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
