FRENCH WEST AFRICA
CLOSEUP
FRENCH WEST AFRICA (LAfrique occidentale franaise), the common designation
of the following colonies of France: (I) Senegal, (2) Upper Senegal
and Niger, (3) Guinea, (4) the Ivory Coast, (5) Dahomey; of the territory
of Mauretania, and of a large portion of the Sahara. The area is estimated
at nearly 2,000,000 sq. m., of which more than half is Saharan territory.
The countries thus grouped under the common designation French West
Africa comprise the greater part of the continent west of the Nigerdelta
(which is British territory) and south of the tropic of Cancer. It embraces
the upper and middle course of the Niger, the whole of the basin of
the Senegal and the southwestern part of the Sahara. Its most northern
point on the coast is Cape Blanco, and it includes Cape Verde, the most
westerly point of Africa. Along the Guinea coast the Faench possessions
are separated from one another by colonies of Great Britain and other
powers, but in the interior they unite not only with one another but
with the hinterlands of Algeria and the French Congo.
