Guinea-Bissau, officially the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, is a country in West Africa that covers with an estimated population of 2,026,778. It borders Senegal to Guinea-Bissau–Senegal border, its north and Guinea to Guinea–Guinea-Bissau border, its southeast. Guinea-Bissau was once part of the kingdom of Kaabu, as well as part of the Mali Empire. Parts of this kingdom persisted until the 18th century, while a few others had been under some rule by the Portuguese Empire since the 16th century. In the 19th century, it was colonised as Portuguese Guinea. Portuguese control was restricted and weak until the early 20th century, when its pacification campaigns solidified Portuguese sovereignty in the area. The final Portuguese victory over the last remaining bastion of mainland resistance came in 1915, with the conquest of the Papel people, Papel-ruled Kingdom of Bissau by the Portuguese military officer João Teixeira Pinto, Teixeira Pinto and the Wolof people, Wolof mercenary ...

São Domingos (Guinea-Bissau)
São Domingos is both a Sector and a city in the Cacheu Region of Guinea-Bissau. The sector contains the main border checkpoint to Senegal between Jegue (on the Guinean side), Mpack on the Senegalese. History There was a Portuguese trading post at Sao Domingos (known in the local Banyum language as Buguendo) at least as early 1535, by which point it had attained a semi-unofficial status. In the late sixteenth century, however, relations between the Portuguese ''lançados'' and the native Bainuk people deteriorated. The late 1570s saw the Europeans invite the king of Kassa to attack the town; despite this victory, conditions did not improve, and the traders relocated to another town further upriver. This experiment likewise failed, and the center of the ''lancados'' trade moved across the river to Cacheu Cacheu is a town in northwestern Guinea-Bissau lying on the Cacheu River, capital of the eponymous region.

Cacheu
Cacheu is a town in northwestern Guinea-Bissau lying on the Cacheu River, capital of the eponymous region. Its population was estimated to be 9,849 . Etymology The town of Cacheu is situated in territory of the Papel people. The name is of Bainuk origin: ''Caticheu'', meaning 'the place where we rest'. History Cacheu was one of the earliest European colonial settlements in sub-saharan Africa, due to its strategic location on the Cacheu river. Cacheu developed a European/Afro-European population from the late sixteenth century through informal settlement of Cape Verdian and Portuguese traders, adventurers and outcasts (''lançados''). The authorities in mainland Portugal also sent to Cacheu ''degredados'' - people condemned to exile for a variety of offences. In 1567 the English slaver John Hawkins raided the settlement. Due to such threats and a period of social conflict with their hosts the Papels, in 1589 the traders sought and received permission from the king of Cache ...
