For many years, Senegal was controlled by various European powers, and France gradually
began gaining control over the area in the 17th century.
On April 4, 1960, Senegal won its independence from France.
Today, April 4 is a national holiday celebrated all over the country, but festivities are
particularly grand in the capital city of Dakar.
