French conquest of Senegal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the 1758 British expedition, see Capture of Senegal.
The French conquest of Senegal started in 1659 with the establishment of Saint-Louis, Senegal, followed by the French capture of the island of Gorée from the Dutch in 1677, but would only become a full-scale campaign in the 19th century.
