French Colonization (1880-1960)

From about 1880 until 1960, Mali was part of French West Africa, a French colonial territory. Known as French Sudan from 1890-1899, and again from 1921-1958. The French Sudan formally became the Republic of Mali in 1960, after achieving its independence from France.[1] [2]
