Ivory coast colonization
The Ivory Coast’s own history is virtually unknown, although it is believed that a Neolithic culture existed there. Since the 18th century, the country was invaded by two groups related to the Akan groups. In 1843-1844, Admiral Bouet-Willaumez signed treaties with the kings of the Grand Bassam and Assinie regions, and placed their territories under French protectorate.
The territory has been inhabited since the Upper Paleolithic, as evidenced by some remains found, despite the difficulties for archaeology due to the conditions of the terrain and the lack of tradition of excavations in the country. In ancient times, the Saharan people settled in the north and the Krus, who came from Liberia, in the south. The different peoples organized themselves into city-states without precise boundaries, which survived thanks to trade routes.
The first European colonizers were the Portuguese, who named the country after the amount of ivory they found. French colonization began at the end of the 18th century, with the conversion to Catholicism of the main tribal leaders, although it did not become official French property until 1893.
