The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Gambia: The Gambia – country in West Africa, officially named the Republic of the Gambia. The Gambia shares historical roots with many other West African nations in the slave trade, which was the key factor in the placing and keeping of a colony on the Gambia River, first by the Portuguese and later by the British. On 18 February 1965, the Gambia gained independence from the United Kingdom and joined the Commonwealth of Nations. Since gaining independence, the Gambia has enjoyed relative political stability, with the exception of a brief period of military rule in 1994.〔http://www.globalpost.com/dispatches/globalpost-blogs/africa-emerges/peace-africa-not Gambia Ranked at no. 10 in Africa〕〔http://allafrica.com/stories/201009100241.html Empty Democracy v Democratic Dictatorship Suwaibou Touray 8 September 2010〕 Thanks to the fertile land of the country, the economy is dominated by farming, fishing, and tourism.
