History of Niger
In the 19th century, contact
with the West began when the first European explorers--notably Mungo Park (British) and
Heinrich Barth (German)--explored the area searching for the mouth of the Niger River. Although
French efforts at pacification began before 1900, dissident ethnic groups, especially the desert
Tuareg, were not subdued until 1922, when Niger became a French colony. [eng]
