1888 CE to 1899 CE

Guinea's colonial period had begun with French military penetration into the area in the mid-nineteenth century.

French domination is assured by the defeat in 1898 of the armies of Samori Touré, Mansa (or Emperor) of the Ouassoulou state and leader of Malinké descent, which gives France control of what today is Guinea and adjacent areas.
