Gambia—more often referred to as "The Gambia" to avoid confusion with "Zambia"—is a tiny country, the smallest nation (independent since 1965) on the continent of Africa. It is no more than 30 miles wide at any point, with its borders generally following the course of the Gambia River. The Gambia has a rich and diverse cultural heritage as it shares historical slave trade roots with other nations in West Africa.
