Present-day Mali was once part of '''three West African empires''' that controlled trans-Saharan trade: '''the Ghana Empire (for which Ghana is named), the Mali Empire (for which Mali is named), and the Songhai Empire'''. At its peak in 1300, the Mali Empire covered an area about twice the size of modern-day France and stretched to the west coast of Africa. In the late 19th century, during the "Scramble for Africa", France seized control of Mali, making it a part of '''French Sudan'''. French Sudan (then known as the Sudanese Republic) joined with Senegal in 1959, achieving independence in 1960 as the Mali Federation. Shortly thereafter, following Senegal's withdrawal from the federation, the Sudanese Republic declared itself the independent Republic of Mali. <ref>"Mali", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mali, accessed 30 July 2021.</ref> | |||
