Senegambia
Senegambia A confederation that merged Senegal (once an Overseas Territory of France) and the Gambia (once a British protectorate) in 1982. Apart from its Atlantic coast, The Gambia is entirely surrounded by Senegal. Gambian fears of absorption into Senegal brought the confederation to an end in 1989.
