WHAT DOES IVORY COAST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast (i/ˌaɪvəri ˈkoʊst/) (French: Côte d'Ivoire) (/ˌkʊt dɨˈvwɑr/; French: ( listen)), officially the Republic of Ivory Coast (French: République de Côte d'Ivoire), is a country in West Africa. It borders Liberia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Ghana; its southern boundary is along the Gulf of Guinea. Prior to its colonization by Europeans, Ivory Coast was home to several states, including Gyaaman, the Kong Empire, and Baoulé. There were two Anyi kingdoms, Indénié and Sanwi, which attempted to retain their separate identity through the French colonial period and after independence. An 1843–44 treaty made Ivory Coast a protectorate of France and in 1893, it became a French colony as part of the European scramble for Africa. Ivory Coast became independent on 7 August 1960. From 1960 to 1993, the country was led by Félix Houphouët-Boigny. It maintained close political and economic association with its West African neighbours, while at the same time maintaining close ties to the West, especially to France.
