Scenarios about 'Senegal'

Senegal is a West African nation with a rich history as a key center for the trans-Atlantic slave trade and later as a French colonial territory until independence in 1960. Its strategic location along the Atlantic coast made it an important point of cultural exchange between Africa, Europe, and the Americas, while its relatively stable democratic tradition since independence stands out in the region. In alternate history scenarios, Senegal often serves as a focal point for exploring different outcomes of European colonization, Islamic influence in West Africa, or alternative development paths for post-colonial African states.
