The
Jolof Empire ( or ), also known as the
Wolof or
Wollof Empire, was a
West African state that ruled parts of
Senegal from 1350 to 1549. Following the 1549 battle of Danki, its vassal states were fully or
de facto independent; in this period, it is known as the
Jolof Kingdom. This was largely conquered by the
imamate of Futa Jallon in 1875 and its territories fully incorporated into
French West Africa by 1890.
