*In the late 19th century, during the European Scramble for Africa, Mauritania became a French colony. Mauritania became independent from French West Africa in 1960.
*After Mauritanian independence, larger numbers of indigenous Sub-Saharan African peoples (Haalpulaar, Soninke, and Wolof) migrated into it, most of them settling in the area north of the Senegal River. Many of these new arrivals had been educated in the French language and French customs, and became clerks, soldiers, and administrators in the new state.<ref>"Mauritania", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritania, accessed 4 August 2021.</ref>
